This book is about persons who took part in the discussion about the final solution of the Jewish question that took place in Berlin, 56-58 Am Grossen Wannsee, on 20 January 1942.
At the beginning of the discussion, chief of the Security Police and the SD, SS--Obergruppenfuhrer Heydrich reported the Reich Marshal had delegated to him the preparations for the final solution of the Jewish question in Europe and this discussion has been called for the purpose of clarifying fundamental questions.
Fifteen men got together to organise the eradication of millions of humans. Reading the protocol itself is chilling as it is so matter of fact.
Personally I'm still undecided who of the Nazi top brass was the most evil, its a tight run thing between Himmler and Heydrich. Heydrich would have won in a canter if he hadn't been assassinated in 1942 so didn't reach his full 'potential'. Both totally inhuman.
This is an interesting book, one I never knew existed, bless secondhand book dealers.
