It was on this day in 1945, 70 years ago, that the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, another on Nagasaki. We must never let it happen again; let us work for complete nuclear disarmament throughout the world.
It's said that if you
fold one-thousand paper cranes
your wish will come true.
For peace I would gladly spend
the rest of my days folding.

Se dice que si
doblas mil grullas de papel
se cumplirá tu deseo.
Por la paz felizmente me pasaría
el resto de mis días doblando.

In
June of 1983, about a thousand of us imprisoned in Santa Rita Prison
because of blocking the entrance to the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories,
California, where nuclear arms are designed, occupied ourselves folding
cranes from old newspapers; among us all, we made many more than a
thousand to send to Japan.
