Sadako’s Crane: A Legacy of Remembrance

Join Senior Historian Aaron Noble for a special gallery talk on Sadako’s Crane, on view in the World Trade Center Gallery. Folded by 12-year-old Sadako Sasaki, a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing, this tiny paper crane—crafted from a medicine wrapper—has become a powerful symbol of remembrance and peace. After the talk, visitors are invited to fold their own origami crane in tribute.
