A mother and her daughters pray at the Students Peace Monument on the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, on August 6, 2020 in Hiroshima, Japan. In a ceremony that has been scaled back significantly because of Covid-19 coronavirus, Japan will mark the 75th anniversary of the first atomic bomb that was dropped by the United States on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. The bomb instantly killed an estimated 70,000 people and thousands more in coming years from radiation effects. Three days later the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki which ended World War II. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
