The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (also known as the Genbaku Dome), in the prefecture of Hiroshima, is the sole structure left standing in the area of the first atomic bomb explosion on 6 August 1945, and preserved in that state since then. The skeletal remains of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall serves as a reminder of the immense destructive force that humankind can create; yet, is also a symbol of the hope for world peace and for the eventual elimination of all nuclear weapons.
The nomination of the site as a WHS raised concerns from China and the United States. China felt that its listing could be used to downplay Japan's wartime aggression, while the United States decried the absence of the historical context that necessitated its use of nuclear weapons.
