The Hiroshima museum is the part of the trip most likely to haunt his memory. Stories, facts, and figures convey information, but the physical exhibit produced a different response. The uniform he remembers was assembled from clothing belonging to three boys, which made the human cost immediate and difficult to forget. The reflection shows how museum objects can connect an abstract historical record to individual lives. That contrast makes this a concise study of how museum interpretation and material culture shape historical memory.
