The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: WWII JAPAN
Drawn from the album of an American serving with the Miyagi Military Government in Sendai, this group pairs photographs of firebombed Japanese cities with unit rosters, a 1943 Christmas dinner program, a bilingual holiday card, and an Allied surrender leaflet. Together they connect the scale of wartime destruction to the named personnel who administered the occupation that followed.
