Historian Jürgen Matthäus has identified the shooter in a 1941 Holocaust photograph as Jakobus Onnen, using AI-assisted facial recognition and family-supplied images, and published the finding recently in Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft. The photograph, dated July 28, 1941, at Berdychiv, Ukraine, documents an Einsatzgruppen mass shooting; the victim remains unidentified, underscoring archival limits and ongoing efforts to name victims.
