Enola Gay at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, the National Air and Space Museum (NASM) of the Smithsonian Institution, near Dulles International Airport, USA. It has killed 253,008 people (possibly more because there are "not-official" A-bomb survivors who are not counted in), and the report points out that there is no mention to the death toll in the museum.

[UPDATE]
I posted this mosaic over at the nocommentnews.com/view.php?id=1523, with a caption below:
On the bright and beautiful morning of 6th August 1945, 62 years ago, the city of Hiroshima was visited by Enola Gay and the Little Boy. The first-ever atomic bomb has since killed 253,008 people.
The survivors, who are getting old and many of whom have suffered cancer and other radiation-caused illnesses, tell their stories to younger generations. This should never happen again anywhere on the earth.

These high school girls are taking part in a school project and making a documentary film about the Atomic Bomb with destroyed their city 62 years ago.
Here, they are listening to a A-bomb survivor (hibakusha), who seems to be over 70. The hibakusha says, as in the caption, that she doesn't want them and others to suffer like she did in 1945.

The Prime Minister's speech at the Atomic Bomb Memorial Ceremony on the morning of 6th August, 2007.
The caption roughly translates: "We (the government) promise to do everything we can do to abolish the nuclear weapons and to establish the eternal peace." I hope he is honestly and sincerely saying this.
