Memorial Tower to the Mobilized Students
This memorial tower stands just to the south of the Genbaku Dome (Atomic Bomb Dome). Situated in a tree-enshrouded park, the tower is 12-meters-tall and consists of five tiers. The tower was erected to memorialize and console the spirits of approximately 10 thousand students who died during World War II after being mobilized to compensate for labor shortages, as well as those who were victims of the atomic bombing. A statue of a goddess of peace stands under the tower, and four relief panels behind the tower depict the mobilized students working. The tower was erected in 1967. Today, a service memorializing the atomic bombing is held in front of the tower each year on August 6th.
