as I mentioned in another reply, this album has been completely debunked -- it's not "fake fake". But it's just not at all a collection of actual WW2 Nanjing photos, and it's still not clear to me why the TikToker assumed that (if we imagine him acting in good faith). But if this pawn shop owner in Minneapolis had serendipitously found an album of actual never-before-seen documentary photos of a famous, horrific but relatively unknown war crime -- then crowdsourced attention/support via Tiktok to get those photos to where they could be verified and authoritatively disseminated? That would definitely (imho) be HN front page material -- just a classic Internet power-of-the-masses type story.
