"The Children's Peace Monument is a monument for peace to commemorate Sadako Sasaki and the thousands of child victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This monument is located in Hiroshima, Japan. Sadako Sasaki, a young girl, died of leukaemia from the radiation of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.
The figures that surround the monument are angels, representing that Sadako is in heaven among the other fallen angels who died during the atomic bombing in Hiroshima.
Today, people from around the world donate cranes that they have folded in honour of Sadako and others.
The paper crane is a symbol of peace, which was her last dying wish.
