Bradford pupils have been trained as guides to take visitors around a powerful new exhibition focusing on the human tragedy of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima.

Kokeshi: Stand Up, Speak Out, Make A Difference explores the story of Sadako Sasaki, who died of leukaemia aged 11 as a result of the bomb, along with 14 other children at her school.

The exhibition, running at Yorkshire Craft Centre until March 31, was opened with a video and surround sound re-enactment of the Hiroshima attack.

It has been organised by Education Bradford’s diversity and cohesion team.
