• Today, in Hiroshima's Peace Park, there is a statue of Sadako standing on top of a granite pedestal *holding a golden crane in her outstretched arms. At its base a plaque reads:
• This is our cry.''
• This is our prayer.''
• Peace in the world.''
• Every year, children from around the world fold cranes and send them to Hiroshima
• where they are placed around the statue.
• Because of Sadako, the paper crane has become an international symbol of peace.
