Video｜Never-before-seen photo album of Japanese bombing of Guangzhou returns from Germany

Eighty-seven years ago, a German man captured the horrific moments of the Japanese bombing of Guangzhou in 1938 through his lens. In July 2025, Oscar Lebeck traveled to Guangzhou at the invitation of Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU). Carrying the historically significant photo album titled "Canton in Trümmern" ("Guangzhou in Ruins"), which contains 365 rare images and represents a deep father-son bond, he formally donated it to the History Museum of SYSU.

多年以前，一位德国人用镜头定格下1938年日军轰炸广州的惨烈瞬间。2025年7月，奥斯卡带着这本承载父子情缘、收录365张罕见照片的相册《Canton in Trümmern》（《废墟中的广州》），应中山大学之邀，不远万里抵穗，并将其郑重捐赠给该校博物馆（校史馆）。
