The Wannsee Conference was a meeting that took place on January 20, 1942, in a suburb of Berlin called Wannsee. The conference was organized by high-ranking officials of Nazi Germany, and its main purpose was to coordinate the implementation of the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question." The "Final Solution" was the Nazi plan to systematically exterminate the Jewish people in Europe during the Holocaust.


During the conference, top Nazi officials, led by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, discussed and formalized plans for the mass genocide of Jews. The decision to implement the "Final Solution" had already been made earlier, but the conference aimed to coordinate various administrative and logistical aspects of the genocide, such as the organization of transportation, the role of different government agencies, and the cooperation of various occupied territories in carrying out the extermination.

The Wannsee Conference marked a pivotal moment in the Holocaust, as it demonstrated the systematic and bureaucratic nature of the genocide. The decisions made during the conference laid the groundwork for the horrific events that unfolded during World War II, resulting in the death of millions of innocent people.


In this episode, we take a look at the participants, what they talked about and how it would go on to shape the plan that would inevitably become one of the worst holocausts in human history.


If we forget our history, we are bound to repeat it and with the vitriol being launched from many these days, it's a good time to remember just exactly what happened and how systemic and vile it truly was.
