A group of former residents of a suburb of Hiroshima who survived the atomic bombing unveiled a computer-generated video Monday showing images of the town before the attack.
The three-minute computer-generated video of the town of Sarugaku, situated north of the city's Atomic Bomb Dome, was featured in a memorial service for town residents and others in neighboring areas who died in the bombing, organizers said.
The video shows images of the main streets of Sarugaku from 1943 to 1944 and on the morning of Aug. 6, 1945, when the United States dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.
Group member Masaaki Tanabe, 62, said that he has visited about 60 preserved sites throughout the country for the project over the past two years.
