I’m seriously intrigued by the Wannsee conference and how 15 men (of which nine were lawyers by trade/education) decided on the fate of millions of people during a meeting that lasted only 1,5 hours. What gave them the confidence that their proposed solution was okay. Was there also a level of wanting to please and agree to the top brass
Edit 1: what stills fascinates me is the possible “power (in)balance” among the different governing bodies that participated in the Wannsee conference. Who had the upper hand, who were the up an coming etc.
By January 1942 thousands of people had been killed in the Holocaust by death squads on the Eastern Front. Depending on how you measure, the Final Solution had been happening for more than six months. Numerous concentration camps had already opened and closed by then.
