A powerful symbol of the horrors of nuclear war has arrived in Geneva.
The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) has donated a sculpture of a tricycle which belonged to a young Hiroshima victim to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum and the City of Geneva.
Three-year-old Shinichi Tetsutani was riding his tricycle when the atomic bomb struck Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Fatally injured, he died that night.
His parents buried him with the tricycle. Forty years later, the original was donated to the Hiroshima Peace Museum.
A sculpture of that bike has now been presented to the Red Cross Museum – it’s on display now.
