The number of victim of Hiroshima bombing reached about 140,000 by the end of 1945, including known 13 POW.
I always found it funny that people remember for what had been done to them than what they had done to the others. Big ceremony in Japan today to remember the victims from the bombing, but they hardly mention about Pearl harbor attack on 8th of December (in Japan). The same in the US, hardly mentions about A-bomb in media. But this year, "A U.S. representative participated for the first time Friday in Japan's annual commemoration of the American atomic bombing of Hiroshima
, in a 65th anniversary event that organizers hope will bolster global efforts toward nuclear disarmament. "
