'The Last Jew in Vinnitsa' is a photograph taken in 1941 during the Holocaust in Ukraine showing an unknown Jewish man about to be shot dead by Jakobus Onnen, a member of Einsatzgruppe C, a mobile death squad of the Nazi SS.



The victim is kneeling beside a mass grave already containing bodies; behind, a group of SS and Reich Labour Service men watch.

Much of this updated information has only become available in the last couple of years.



 In September 2025, Jürgen Matthäus of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum claimed that analysis of the buildings in the image confirmed the location as the Berdychiv citadel (and not Vinnitsya) and that facial recognition software had identified the shooter "with more than 99 percent certainty" as Jakobus Onnen (1906-1943), a teacher from Tichelwarf near Weener in East Frisia who had been a member of the SS since 1934 and was later killed in action near Zhytomyr. The photographer and victim remain unidentified.
