Young Frenchman Marcus Detrez arrived in China carrying 622 rare historical photographs his grandfather, Roger-Pierre Laurens, purportedly took in China during World War II.
Detrez said the photos may document historical scenes from the Japanese invasion of China and expressed his intention to donate them without compensation to Chinese institutions.
He said some of the photographs were taken during the Japanese invasion of Shanghai in 1937, documenting Japanese soldiers' atrocities, including indiscriminate killings of civilians on the streets and the destruction of temples, monuments and other cultural landmarks. The historical value and authenticity of these photos have yet to be professionally appraised.
