In the center of Memorial Cenotaph at Peace Memorial Park is the Hiroshima Pond of Peace. At one end is the arch-shaped Memorial Cenotaph. It contains the names of all of the victims of the atomic bomb. The epitaph reads, “Let all the souls here rest in peace for we shall not repeat the evil.” Behind it is the Peace Flame. Since 1964, the fire has remained burning and will not be extinguished until the world is rid of nuclear devices. Both of these monuments align to the A-bomb Dome seen in the background.
