Barbara Reynolds Memorial Monument

Barbara Reynolds, an American, arrived in Hiroshima in 1951 with her husband, who was a researcher at the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC, now the Radiation Effects Research Foundation). She was deeply shocked by the devastation of the atomic bomb and subsequently became involved in the anti-nuclear and peace movement.

This monument was erected to honor the achievements of Ms. Reynolds, who devoted herself to the globalization of Hiroshima, based on her conviction that "My heart is always with Hiroshima.”
