Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

Last month I had a chance to go to Hiroshima for the day. I had some friends visiting from Canada, and they were gong to visit the Atomic Bomb Museum. I think many of you went there in elementary school for your school trip. It is not a happy place, but it is a necessary one. Can you understand the difference?<\/p>\n

At the end of the tour I was sitting in the lobby and I saw an interesting display. It was from a visit by Pope Francis in 2019. In the display was a picture, and a message that he wrote to the museum and people of Hiroshima.<\/p>\n

I thought that you might be interested in seeing it, so I took some pictures. Take a look!<\/p>\n
