The 6th of August is Hiroshima Day. Hiroshima Day is observed in many parts of the world with special vigils and peace marches. It is held to commemorate the dropping of the first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. Three days later a second bomb fell on the city of Nagasaki.
