The "shadows of people" that it seems you are asking about are the marks left on structures as a result of the atomic blast at Hiroshima.
The "bright blast" that is created when an atomic bomb goes off is intense and carries radiation with it. A person that was standing near a wall at the time of the blast wave could have obstructed the radiated light just long enough that no radiation hit the wall behind them.
When the unobstructed atomic flash hit the walls around where the person was standing, it changed the color of the walls - but since where the person was standing hadn't been hit by the same light, it was not discolored in the same fashion.
What is left is "a shadow imprint" of the person who was standing in front of the wall.
It's essentially a result of the flash from an atomic blast changing the color of whatever it first came into contact with. If a person was obstructing the light from hitting a wall, the person absorbed the flash while the surrounding light flash passed through to the wall, creating an outline of the individual who took the brunt of the blast.
It's quite disturbing to see first-hand. It's a very powerful thing to behold; it's very profound.

Why world war 2 is important for today?
WWII is important to remember because it is an important part of the world's history. Many people suffered and died, and the effects of it still exist today. For example, the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused radiation are still inside Japanese people - or anyone who was in those cities at the time. My great-uncle was an airplane fighter, and he lost his life during a practice flight. He left behind two twin boys that were born a week later and a young wife. Many stories are like that - families lost their loved ones. Not only that, but a lot of destruction occurred. Some cannot be replaced, and others that cost a lot of money to rebuild.

Did anybody survive the Hiroshima's atomic bomb?
Yes. About 172,000.The cities population was about 340,000 in 1945. When the atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima the death toll came to 168,000.Note: I visited the Atomic Bomb Memorial site in Hiroshima. It is a very sobering experience of what the atomic bomb can do. There is hardly anything left standing in the city at the epicenter of the explosion. People were completely vaporized. Many people died in the explosion, but 10,000's more died afterward because of radiation caused infections.

No. When something is awesome that means it is really great. When the atomic bomb was dropped on the city there was nothing left. Millions died in seconds and the city burned.
