At the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942, senior Nazi officials meet to determine the manner in which the so-called "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" can be best implemented.

In January 1942, as the United States enters World War II, a conference assembles near Berlin. S.S. General Heydrich and his associate, Lieutenant Colonel Eichmann call the meeting to discuss the "evacuation" of Germany's Jews and other undesirables, a code word for their extermination in concentration camps. To begin this Final Solution, they must change the mind of a small group of men opposed to the idea, led by Chancellor Kritzinger.—Jwelch5742

In January 1942 a conference was held in Wannsee, a suburb of Berlin. The conference was called by SS-Obergruppenfuhrer Reinhard Heydrich and in attendance were senior SS officers, senior German government officials and Heydrich's right-hand man, Lt. Colonel Adolf Eichmann. The purpose of the conference: setting forth the principles and processes that would ultimately result in the Holocaust.—grantss

The historical re-creation of the 1942 Wannsee Conference, in which Nazi and S.S. leaders gathered in a Berlin suburb to discuss the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Lead by S.S. General Reinhard Heydrich, this group of high ranking German officials came to the historic and far reaching decision that the Jews of Europe were to be exterminated in what would come to be known as the Holocaust.—Anthony Hughes <[email protected]>

It is Nazi Germany, 1942. The Russian Front has bogged down in snow and mud, and the Americans have entered the war. For the first time, defeat is a possibility. In light of this, fifteen high-ranking members from all areas of the Nazi government, soldiers, economists, administrators and lawyers, are brought together by order of Der Führer in a luxurious mansion in Wansee, Berlin. No records of their meeting will be kept, and they will not reveal the substance of their discussion to the outside world. The issue before them is to determine a solution, a "Final Solution", to the "Jewish problem", and their solution will lead to one of the most horrific and shameful episodes in human history.—Scott
