How it feels
In 1942, Nazi officials meet in a Berlin villa to coordinate the logistics of the Holocaust. The film follows a single meeting where they discuss population transfers and extermination plans with detached professionalism.

What happens
The Wannsee Conference (German: Die Wannseekonferenz) is a 1984 West German - Austrian TV film portraying the events of the Wannsee Conference, held in Berlin in January 1942. The script is derived from the minutes of the meeting. Since no verbatim transcription of the meeting exists, the dialogue is necessarily fictionalised. The main theme of the film is the bureaucratic nature of the genocide. The same events were later depicted in the 2001 English-language film Conspiracy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
