On January 20th of 1942, 15 officials attended a conference at Wannsee on the outskirts of Berlin. Comprised of mid-ranking SS commanders and a variety of government ministers, the meeting was organized by SS Major Adolf Eichmann, under the direction of the ruthless and efficient Chief of Security Reinhard Heydrich.

By the meeting's close, the fate of six million lives would be decided, and a terrible machine put into operation that would alter the shape of the world. English, French and Spanish subtitles.
