Although Hitler's extermination of the Jews was well under way by
the end of 1941, it was at the Wannsee Conference of January 1942
that Reinhard Heydrich officially announced the Nazi party's
pursuit of the infamous "final solution." This conference was held
at a luxurious villa known as the Wannsee House, and both the house
and the conference have a complicated and fascinating history,
which unfolded as economic and political events drew together
wealthy German businessmen and powerful political figures in
sometimes surprising ways.
This book traces that history from 1914-the year that saw the
foundations laid for both the house and the Holocaust-to the
present. Appendices provide a wealth of historical documents
including the Reich's rules "defining" Jews, letters from Reich
Security Service officials providing early documentary evidence of
the Holocaust, and a transcript of Adolf Eichmann's 1961 court
testimony regarding the Wannsee Conference.
