Wannsee Conference

The Wannsee Conference was a meeting held on January 20, 1942, in a villa near Berlin, where senior Nazi officials gathered to discuss the implementation of the "Final Solution." This term referred to the systematic extermination of Jews in Europe. The conference aimed to coordinate various government agencies and streamline the logistics of mass murder. It marked a significant step in the Holocaust, where millions of Jews and other targeted groups were ultimately deported to concentration camps and killed. The meeting highlighted the bureaucratic and organized nature of the genocide carried out by the Nazi regime.
