Heydrich, the SS general in charge of the Final Solution, chaired a meeting at Wannsee (a Berlin suburb) to get all the government departments involved to work together. It was a short meeting (about 90 minutes) and did not make any policy decision. The Holocaust had already started.
I wanted to know WHEN it happened.
Good day, buy me french fries.
At the Wannsee Conference (20 January 1942) various practical details of the Holocaust were decided. == After the Wannsee Conference the implementation of the 'Final Solution' became more systematic and uniform in character. In fact, many have said that it became 'industrial'.
To deport all Jews in Nazi occupied Europe to eastern Europe and execute them. The Jews that were able bodied would be put to work building roads, and when they were finished would be executed.
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 (Endlösung) in which the Nazis would attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe, an estimated 14 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.
"...eliminated by natural causes," refers to death by a combination of hard labor and starvation.
"...treated accordingly," refers to execution by SS firing squads or death by gassing - also seen in other Nazi correspondence in a variety of connotations such as "special treatment" and "special actions" regarding the Jews.
_____________
The Wannsee Conference made no decision, except agreeing to postpone deciding what to do with half Jews ... Some older books and other sources state - incorrectly - that the decision to exterminate the Jews was taken at this meeting, but that decision had already been taken. The meeting was about implementation.
Europe re-built, the Soviets expanded, many Jews moved to Palestine or America and the Cold War started
