Iconic Sites of World War II's Victims Foster New Ties of Peace

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Pearl Harbor National Memorial signed a sister park agreement to promote peace and share preservation practices.
The parks will organize peace events and exchange tourism ideas to educate youth and attract more visitors.
Some Hiroshima atomic bomb survivors opposed the sister city plan and petitioned against it.
The Pearl Harbor attack drew the U.S. into WWII, and the Hiroshima bombing ended the war.
The parks commemorate tragic events in 1941 and 1945 that shaped global history.
