August 6th, 1945, 08:14 A.M. and 45 seconds
World War II is underway. It is morning in a Japanese town. The city is of military and industrial importance but is not considered a primary target in the conflict since it consists mainly of only civilians.
All the people are living their normal life. Thousands are heading off to work, the children are playing in a park or going to school. A plane is flying over the area. It doesn't look like a bomber and it is flying solo since the anti aircraft alarm is not active. It is a beautiful day, the sky is clear and the sun is shining.
Suddenly, however, something incredible happens: a second sun appears, a sun that releases an extreme light that, with a tremendous explosion, dazzles and destroys everything. The city is Hiroshima , the day is August 6th, 1945 . The time is exactly 08:14am and 45 seconds.

Who is Sadako? Sadako is a small girl who lives in Hiroshima.
She was in the park with her brother, just a few kilometers from where the detonation happened. The day the bomb went off she was two years old. The shock wave catapulted her in the air.
Sadako and her brother survived both the explosion and the radiation poisoning. Radiation caused disease and deaths after the bombing to about 20% of those who had survived the explosion. At the end of 1945 the number of people killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is estimated to have been around 200,000. 

What are the thousand paper cranes?
Sadako became a strong and athletic young girl. At the age of eleven, after a sports competition, she started to feel unwell. She was diagnosed with a serious form of leukemia which was a consequence of the radiation released by the bomb. This really was an unnecessary price to pay, both silent and malicious, and inherited from that distant day.
Whilst in hospital, she was told about an ancient legend and story.
According to this legend whoever manages to create a thousand paper cranes with origami would have their wish come true .
So, during all of those months in hospital Sadako made 644 cranes, with all sorts of types of paper. Soon after that however, she passed away and her image became one of the most powerful symbols of peace.
The missing cranes were finished by her many friends.
Two statues are dedicated to Sadako, one in Hiroshima (Japan) and one in Seattle (USA), and every year hundreds of people fold thousands of cranes for her.
