65 years later, a mystery is solved
96-year-old woman confesses to 1946 murder
The woman, who had been part of the Dutch resistance against the Nazis, mistakenly believed that her victim had collaborated with the Nazis. In fact, he had sheltered Jews and given money to help others, and allowed a banned Catholic organisation meet in his home. The woman was never a suspect, but knew details that have convinced the authorities of the veracity of her story. She will not be prosecuted, however.

Check out
these wonderful 'book sculptures' of Anne Frank, Vincent van Gogh, Louis van Gaal and Kader Abdollah to celebrate (auto)biography during Dutch Book Week. The pieces of art, made from the books themselves, turn into 3-dimensional sculptures of the faces of each person as the pages are fanned.
Here is the one for Anne Frank, featuring her diary:
