Peace memorials are structures or sites dedicated to commemorating the victims of war and promoting the ideals of peace. They serve as reminders of the consequences of conflict and the importance of reconciliation. These memorials can take various forms, including statues, parks, and museums, and are often located in areas significant to historical events. Many peace memorials also aim to educate the public about the value of peace and the need for conflict resolution. They often feature inscriptions, artwork, or exhibits that highlight the stories of those affected by war, such as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial in Japan or the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C..
