Hiroshima Today (20 photos)

Tomorrow, May 27, President Barack Obama will be visiting Hiroshima, Japan, nearly 71 years since the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the city on August 6, 1945. Earlier this month I posted the photo essay Hiroshima: Before and After the Atomic Bombing, which kept mostly to the 1940s. Quite a number of readers expressed interest in seeing present-day Hiroshima as well, and thanks to a few Getty photographers, we can take a look at the modern city and portraits of still-living survivors of the bombing.
