The Conference

On the morning of 20 January 1942, in a villa on the lakefront of the Wannsee in Berlin, leading members of the Nazi regime came together.

They had been invited by Reinhard Heydrich to a meeting followed by breakfast.

The sole topic on the agenda that morning was what the Nazis called the Final Solution to the Jewish Question: the organization of the systematic mass murder of millions of Jews across Europe.

The effect is beyond chilling. It’s not an easy film, what with a large cast of participants and wall-to-wall German dialogue, but it is an important one if you want to understand how this thing happened.

This is just one required history class to sit through!
