Ruïnes van gebouwen te Rotterdam c. 1940 - 1945

"Ruïnes van gebouwen te Rotterdam" (Ruins of buildings in Rotterdam), a photograph by J. Nolte, captures the devastation of Rotterdam after World War II. The image shows a street littered with debris, with the ruined facades of buildings on either side. The stark black and white tones emphasize the destruction, while the lone bus in the foreground underscores the scale of the damage. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the impact of war on civilian populations and is a significant example of war photography.
