A memorial service is held in Hiroshima for Korean victims of the 1945 U.S. atomic bombing, organizers say. The ceremony takes place on Wednesday in western Japan, near a monument dedicated to Korean victims in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. The event includes the dedication of a registry that lists the names of 2,826 victims. Organizers say the registry is updated to reflect newly confirmed information; two survivors whose deaths are confirmed during the past year are added. The service is held one day before the anniversary of the bombing from World War II. The organizers also note that many Koreans were in Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the time of the August 1945 bombings, after being brought to Japan as conscripted laborers. The sources characterize the memorial as part of ongoing efforts to recognize and remember Korean victims connected to the atomic bombing and the war period.
