PARIS, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — A handover ceremony of historical photos taken during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression donated by Marcus Detrez was held at the Chinese Embassy in France on Monday evening.
During the event, Chen Dong, envoy of the Chinese Embassy in France, presented M. Detrez, who donated 618 historical photographs collected by his grandfather Roger-Pierre Laurens, with a donation certificate and a letter of thanks from the Shanghai Songhu Memorial Hall of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Many of the photographs, taken between the 1930s and 1950s, document the Battle of Songhu in 1937. The Shanghai Songhu Memorial Hall has included these historical photographs in its permanent collection.
These photographs document the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders against Chinese civilians and are of great historical value for the study of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Speaking to reporters at the event, M. Detrez said the photographs captured history and he wanted more Westerners, especially young people, to learn about this part of history through the donated photographs. –0–
