One of the biggest mysterious events of World War II is about to be deciphered

All thanks to the advancement of technology. With this achievement, experts hope that other mysteries will soon be decoded.

One day in August 1944, the Amsterdam police team, which was occupied by the Nazi government, entered Anne Frank 's house. Here, she and seven family members were hiding in a secret room behind the bookcase that had been arrested.

Originally a book keeper, almost every detail in Frank's story was kept in his diary. But even though more than 70 years have passed, no one knows who the culprit has pointed to the police, making the event one of the greatest mysteries of World War II .

Now a retired FBI expert and colleagues of more than 20 people are confident that they can decipher this mystery. And what they believe is an AI (artificial intelligence) program , and the combination of data so far.

"We will take advantage of all the data in this period," said Vincen Pankoke, a former FBI expert. "There is still a lot of information that has never been considered before."

Currently, historians have suspected about 30 characters as perpetrators, such as roomkeepers, neighbors . In that, there is an interesting hypothesis about Ans Van Dijk - a Jewish woman who inherently is a member of the Nazi underground police team. In addition, Joseph Jansen - who once accused Frank's father - Otto, suspected he had an affair with his wife.

The key figures in the study are police teams from Amsterdam, historians, crime researchers, and two research scientists from the company Xomnia - the company that created AI this time.

Thanks to the AI ​​program, we decipher many other mysterious events that still exist in history.

"Xomnia is building a storage system, which allows researchers to save any information found. Our software allows them to track and extract, review data in a complete way. "new," said Marius Helf, Xomnia's chief researcher.

"In the future, we intend to make the system smarter, able to automatically link people, events and historical places."

"This is how we will find the latest clues, to really understand what happened on August 4, 1944, when the Anne Frank family was arrested, and identify the true culprit. Who is".

In addition, the team believes that this will be the way we decipher many other mysterious events that still exist in history.
