The Conference (Die Wannseekonferenz)

The Conference

On the morning of 20 January 1942, in a villa on the lakefront of the Wannsee in Berlin, leading members of the Nazi regime came together. They had been invited by Reinhard Heydrich to a meeting followed by breakfast: the sole topic on the agenda that morning was what the Nazis called the Final Solution to the Jewish Question, the organisation of the systematic mass murder of millions of Jews across Europe.

Shot on location at Wannsee Lake in Berlin and produced for the 80 year commemoration of the Conference, this historically accurate and haunting drama brings to life the minutiae of the fateful gathering.

Read: The Jewish Holocaust Centre's Head of Education Dr Simon Holloway provides more context on The Conference.
