Japanese schoolgirl Sadako Sasaki was 12 years old when she died on Oct. 25, 1955 (born Jan. 7, 1943).

She was 2 years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (August 6, 1945). She died 10 years later of acute leukemia caused by radiation damage. Before she died, she folded a large number of origami cranes, a Japanese cultural activity by those seeking divine intervention.
