The Wannsee Conference
Summary
In January 1942, high-ranking Nazi officials convened at the Wannsee Conference to discuss the logistics of implementing the “Final Solution” to exterminate Jews in Europe. This lecture examines the event and raises the critical question of when and how the dehumanization that led to the discussion of efficiently eliminating 11 million people began.
