Wannsee Conference — Final Solution Coordinated
Fifteen senior Nazi officials met at a lakeside villa in Wannsee, Berlin to coordinate the 'Final Solution to the Jewish Question' — the systematic genocide of all European Jews. Chaired by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, the conference planned the murder of 11 million Jews across Europe. The Wannsee Protocol is one of WWII's most damning primary source documents.
