A survivor of the Hiroshima atomic bomb offers a prayer for victims of the world’s first atomic bombing at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, western Japan, on August 6, 2012. On Aug. 6, 1945, about 140,000 people were killed by an American atomic bomb that hastened the end of World War II. Another blast in Nagasaki three days later killed 70,000 more.
