MY SAY: THE WANNSEE CONFERENCE: 1942
Many good columns have been written about the evil secret conference which was planned by SS-Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant Colonel) Adolf Eichmann, Officer for Jewish Affairs to implement Hitler’s policy that Europe should be freed of Jews. Among those present in a lakeside villa expropriated from its Jewish owners were:
Wilhelm Stuckart, a lawyer representing the Interior Ministry and co-author of the anti-semitic Nuremberg laws
Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger, deputy head of the Reich Chancellery
Gerhard Klopfer, a lawyer from the Nazi Party Chancellery
Martin Luther, Foreign Ministry liaison to the SS
Heinrich Müller, Gestapo Chief and Eichmann’s immediate superior
Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler‘s second-in-command in the SS, who opened the meeting on the final solution.
The best documentary on this infamous gathering, available on Netflix is “Conspiracy” a BBC/HBO television film from 2001.
