On the one hand, it successfully ended a long and bloody World War II and was almost universally applauded at that time for saving many lives in the long run. That event has a curious double meaning in our history. Tibbets, Jr., piloting the B-29 bomber Enola Gay, dropped the first atom bomb on Hiroshima.
Do you want to do an exhibit to make veterans feel good, or do you want an exhibition that will lead our visitors to think about the consequences of the atomic bombing of Japan? Frankly, I don't think we can do both.
