The Conference
On the morning of 20 January 1942, in a villa on the lakefront of the Wannsee in Berlin, leading members of the Nazi regime came together. They had been invited by Reinhard Heydrich to a meeting followed by breakfast; the sole topic on the agenda that morning was what the Nazis called the Final Solution to the Jewish Question: the organization of the systematic mass murder of millions of Jews across Europe.
Critic Reviews:
- " In its quiet, terrifying way, The Conference is one of the best films I've seen this year. " – Graeme Tuckett (Stuff.co.nz)
- " The effect is beyond chilling. It’s not an easy film, what with a large cast of participants and wall-to-wall German dialogue, but it is an important one if you want to understand how this thing happened. " – Paul Byrnes ()
- " A sobering but compelling drama in which Nazi officials discuss the administration of the proposed ‘Final Solution’. " – Simon Miraudo (Movie Squad, RTRFM 92.1)
