Synopsis

[Lisbon Maru, Japan, World War II, prisoners of war, shipwreck, war] "The Truth Covered Up by the Japanese Army: The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" takes a humanitarian disaster during World War II as its core and uncovers that dust-laden history. In October 1942, the Japanese cargo ship "Lisbon Maru" carried about 1,800 British prisoners of war and sailed from Hong Kong to Japan. However, it was attacked by a US submarine torpedo near the Zhoushan Islands. Faced with the sinking hull, the Japanese army chose to conceal the identities of the prisoners of war, which led to delays in rescue and ultimately led to the tragedy of nearly 800 people being buried at the bottom of the sea. This tragedy is not only a portrayal of the atrocities of war, but also a microcosm of the conflict between human nature and the system. This album records the beginning and end of the incident in detail: the prisoners of war's struggle for survival in the cabin, the adventurous rescue of local fishermen, and the disclosure and reflection of the truth after the war. Comprehensively restore the entire process of the "Lisbon Maru" from navigation to sinking, and analyze the ignored value of life and the distorted bottom line of humanity in the war. The tragedy of Lisbon Maru should not be forgotten!

Reader comments

Such mass casualties are often ignored by history and deserve our re-examination and reflection.

Only by keeping in mind the lessons of history can such humanitarian tragedies never happen again.
