Abstract

The article focuses on Yad Vashem, Israel's main Holocaust museum, which has identified 5 million of the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis, with efforts now turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover additional names. Yad Vashem has traditionally relied on extensive historical records and survivor testimonies, achieving over 80% success in documenting victims. However, many victims, particularly from the former Soviet Union, remain unaccounted for due to the destruction of records by the Nazis. The museum is developing an AI program to analyze vast amounts of documentation, which has already helped identify some names, with hopes of increasing accuracy to 99% in the near future.
