Wannsee Conference

The Wannsee Conference was a meeting of senior Nazi officials and SS leaders held on January 20, 1942, in Berlin, where they discussed the implementation of the Final Solution to the Jewish Question, involving the deportation and murder of most European Jews. The conference aimed to ensure cooperation among government departments and was led by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, who outlined a plan for the mass extermination of Jews in occupied Poland. Discrimination against Jews in Germany began immediately after the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, with legalized persecution escalating through violence, economic pressure, and the Nuremberg Laws in 1935.learn more on wikipedia
