The Memorial Tower to the Mobilized Students was built in May 1967 by the Association for the Mobilized Student Victims of Hiroshima Prefecture in order to console the souls of over 10,000 students, including those who were Atomic Bomb victims, who died in bombings during the Pacific War. The memorial is, among other elements, decorated with the Goddess of Peace, and by many chains of origami cranes, made by schoolchildren. The paper crane became a symbol of hope and peace through the story of a little Japanese girl, Sadako Sasaki, who was exposed to radiation as an infant when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima during World War II.
