Reinhard Heydrich was an important figure in the Nazi rise to power during World War II. He was responsible for the creation of the SS Security Service and helped coordinate the Final Solution, which aimed to exterminate individuals of Jewish descent in Europe and the Soviet Union.
The Wannsee Confrence chaired by Reinhard Heydrich.
In short the Wannsee conference was held to set in motion the final solution. Heydrich was tasked as chief executer of disposing of Germany's Jewish problem. The Wansee conference was to gain the support for the final solution from all those departments head involved in Jewish policies.
Hitler was not present. The most senior Nazi at the meeting was Heydrich. The Wannsee Conference did not take any policy decisions: it was concerned with co-ordinating the roles of the various agencies involved in carrying out the "Final Solution" (Holocaust), such as the SS, the local police, the railways and so on.
On January, 20, 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's second in command of the SS, convened the Wannsee Conference in Berlin with 15 top Nazi bureaucrats to coordinate the Final Solution in which the Nazis would attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe, an estimated 11 million persons. "Europe would be combed of Jews from east to west," Heydrich stated. The minutes of that meeting have been preserved but were edited by Heydrich substituting the coded language Nazis used when referring to lethal actions to be taken against Jews. "Instead of emigration, there is now a further possible solution to which the Führer has already signified his consent - namely deportation to the east," Heydrich stated for example when referring to mass deportations of Jews to ghettos in occupied Poland and then on to the soon-opened death camps at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka.

The Wannsee Confrence chaired by Reinhard Heydrich.
The "final solution" (extermination of all Jews within German-occupied territories) was outlined at the Wannsee Conference on January 20, 1942. The conference was called by Reinhard Heydrich at the behest of Reich Marshal Hermann Goring, who was acting on behalf of Adolf Hitler. Heydrich was charged with creating and implementing the deportation, imprisonment, and execution of the Jewish populations. Present at the meeting was Adolf Eichmann, who took over Operation Reinhard after Heydrich was assassinated in Prague on June 4.

The Wannsee Conference, chaired by Reinhard Heydrich, was a meeting of senior Nazi officials on 20 January 1942 and was organised to work out the 'nuts and bolts' of the 'Final Solution', that is, the Holocaust. The early stages of the Holocaust were chaotic, often starting with local 'initiatives' which were later rubber-stamped at the top.Contrary to what some older books say, it did not decide on the Final Solution. That decision had already been made (at a higher level) and the Final Solution had started.
no it was the Wannsee conference
