Is there a record of when and where this decision was made? I am intensely curious as to who suggested what and where they discussed it and when these decisions were implemented.
Its taken for granted that it was hitler's idea. But i want to know if we have records of when he came up with that idea and who else contributed to the plan.

What is the consensus on the "Weak Dictator" theory of Hitler and the cause of the Holocaust? (lots of good English-language sources in this response)
To what extent do you guys think Hitler was personally responsible for the Holocaust?
