Contents/Summary
- Summary
- A real time recreation of the 1942 Wannsee Conference, in which leading SS and Nazi Party officals gathered to discuss the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Led by SS-General Reinhard Heydrich, the Wannsee Conference was the starting point for the Jewish Holcaust which led to the mass murder of six million people. Director Heinz Schirk and writer Paul Mommertz use actual notes from the meeting, along with letters written by Hermann Goering and Adolf Eichmann and testimony by Eichmann at his 1961 trial in Israel to recreate the shocking events of this meeting.
