SOUVENIR from MAYOR OF HIROSHIMA A-BOMB DOME At 8:15 a.m., August 6 th, 1945, the Atomic Bomb ex- ploded with a tremendous flash 570 meters directly above this building, instantaneously reducing the City of Hiroshima to cinders. The impact of the terrific blast striking it per- pendicularly from overhead prevented it from being blown to pieces, and thus its skeletons remain to this day as a sole witness to the great catastrophe.
