Ranked #939 in Culture & Society, #23,019 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund, Save the Children
One Child Inspires Peace in the World
Sadako Sasaki was just two years old when the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in 1945. At the age of 11, she was diagnosed with Leukemia, or the "Atomic Bomb Disease." In 1955 leukemia was a death sentence.
Her courage in the face of her cancer and determination to fold 1,000 paper cranes to be granted a wish had been an inspiration to many people all over the world.
Since her death at the young age of 12, Sadako has become a symbol of Peace throughout the world. Her inspiring story is taught to school children everywhere often as they learn how to fold a peace crane.

Sadako Sasaki on Wikipedia
Sadako Sasaki (January 7, 1943 - October 25, 1955) was a Japanese girl who was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, near her home by Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan.
Sadako was at home when the explosion occurred, about one mile from Ground Zero. By November 1954, chicken pox had developed on her neck and behind her ears. In January 1955, purple spots had formed on her legs. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with leukemia (her mother referred to it as "an atom bomb disease"). She was hospitalized on February 21, 1955, and given, at the most, a year to live.
After her death, Sadako's friends and schoolmates published a collection of letters in order to raise funds to build a memorial to her and all of the children who had died from the effects of the atomic bomb.

A Reflection on Dropping the Bomb...
Lee A. Makela shares a very poignant reflection in her page on Cranes for Peace. She was part of an effort by the Plymouth Church of Shaker Heights to deliver a thousand paper cranes folded as a concrete expression of their own personal or collective prayers for peace. Lee was one who volunteered to deliver the cranes to Japan at the Childrens Peace Memorial in Hiroshima.One of the men accompanying her on the trip to bring peace cranes to Hiroshima was a retired lawyer from the Seattle area who had served in the United States Army during that same conflict.
He was serving in Europe when the use of the atomic bomb ended the Pacific conflict.
This former army member reflected at the time, he was ecstatic that the use of the bomb had brought the war to a final conclusion. He was glad that "he would not have to run the risk of being killed during what everyone assumed would be a bloody land invasion of the Japanese home islands."
After bringing the cranes to the Childrens Peace memorial and visiting the exhibits at the nearby Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum that graphically detailing the impact of that single weapon on the life of the entire city, this former army member told Lee,
- ...for the very first time, he had begun to ask himself if maybe, just maybe, had he lost his own life in exchange for the Bomb NOT being used, the sacrifice might have been a worthy one.

There has been an outpouring of support for the country of Japan following the devastating March 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami.Students Rebuild have partnered with DoSomething.org, to provide an opportunity for students worldwide to support their Japanese peers by making paper cranes.

- "Strings of one thousand paper cranes are often sent to places where tragedy has struck as a symbol of hope & healing. Sometimes groups will fold 1000 cranes for an ailing friend in hopes of speeding their recovery."

- A wish for peace and relief in Japan is taking flight at The Hawbridge School in Saxapahaw as students attempt to fold 1,000 paper cranes in Japanese origami style. The project started as a middle-schooler's idea for raising money for the Japanese Red Cross, and swept through the school.
- Flickr: 1000 Cranes for Japan
- I think it would be a beautiful show of support and love for Japan if flickr was flooded with paper cranes. Is it too much to hope for a virtual chain of 1000 cranes? If you make one, send me a flickr mail. I will start a group if there is enough interest. Feel free to spread the word.

Earning a Purple Star for Sadako Sasaki
This lens was originally created on December 17, 2007 as part of the Squidoo Superhero Project, to make 5 lenses in 2 weeks about the people who have inspired me, mentored me or changed the way I look at the world. Even though it is over 3 years old, the lens is still relevant today.
As part of the "Back to the Future Purple Star Quest" I chose this lens to update. I am honored that Robin has chosen this lens to write about in the Official Squidoo blog, dubbed this lens as "a stunning example of what a Purple Star lens can be."
The lens had been on my mind, since the recent earthquake in Japan and one that I included on my other RocketMom for Japan lenses. I discovered that people around the world are folding cranes to support the people of Japan.

- The Official Squidoo Blog - A Purple Star Lens can be Charitable
- The recent earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan has encouraged an outpouring of charitable support from some our lensmasters who are donating royalties to help those in need. Sadako Sasaki by lensmaster Comfortdoc is one of those lenses. It tells the tale of a young Japanese girl who was present during the Hiroshima bombing and how her story of folding 1000 paper cranes has become a symbol of peace throughout the world.
Sadako gave us the paper crane
to symbolize our yearning
for peace and hope in the world.

- Thanks to the many pilgrims, pioneers and angels for peace, we have less war in the world now than ever in history. World War II seems to have taught us some lessons. But it's important that movements like this one stay firm and keep working for peace until this scourge is ended forever.
Thanks for a smart, insightful and tender lens.

- This is one of the best lenses I have seen on Squidoo, and one that should be shown to every schoolchild in the world. As a former member of CND I still fold cranes for Sadako every August, and hang them from a tree in my front garden; but it saddens me how few people understand why. Thank you for a beautiful lens.

- When I was in 4th grade,
my teacher read Sadako and the Thousand Paper cranes to us.
Me and a boy named Jacob decided to make a paper crane.
He had the teacher helping him,
but I had to teach myself.
I was 10 years old!
I didn't manage to sucessfully make a crane
until I was 11 years old and in 5th grade.
To anyone else wanting to learn how to make one,
Folding a paper crane is very hard at first.
In my case,
there were instructions(complete with pictures) in the back of the book!
