<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies> I suggest to watch "Grave of the Fireflies", if someone wish to pay tribute to Hiroshima in a different way. It's beautiful and sensible, but also one of the saddest 'anime' (Japanese animated movies/series) that I saw in my whole life. Not for being Japanese, not for showing the Second World War, but because it shows the point of view of children. Children starving, crying, losing their parents and dying without ever understanding the war. In all the wars, what always worries me the most are the children, their traums. They don't have any guilt and always suffer all the pain. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadako_Sasaki> Sorry, I didn't find the animated movie with English subtitles on line, just the trailer. It's the kind of story so disturbing, so intensely sad that you can watch only once in your life. I, probably, was not brave enough in my searches, pardon. Trailer: http://youtu.be/4vPeTSRd580 Kisses and sad tsurus... - c.
