Hiroshima was destroyed by an atomic bombing conducted by the United States during the final stages of World War II in August 1945. Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall was located only around 160 meters from the hypocenter of the explosion, the building was blown up, and all those inside the building died. However, the building was not destroyed completely because the blast of the atomic bomb, which was vaporized in the air, prevented it from totally collapsing. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.Photography by Jose More
