The film documents a meeting held during WW2, when SS second-in-command, Reinhard Heydrich, assembles a group of Nazis to discuss the final solution of the Jewish question. The Wannsee conference is held in a German country house in snowy Berlin, the Nazis sit around a table for most of the film, occasionally getting for drinks, while enjoying buffet lunch. The debate is whether to execute the Jews or sterilise the Jews, discussing what method is the most efficient/effective option of eliminating the entire Jewish race.
There were mant attendees including : Reinhard Heydrich, Otto Hofmann, Heinrich Müller, Karl Eberhard Schöngarth, Gerhard Klopfer, Adolf Eichmann, Dr. Rudolf Lange, Dr. Georg Leibbrandt, Dr. Alfred Meyer, Dr. Josef Bühler, Dr. Roland Freisler, Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart, Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart, Erich Neumann, Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger and Martin Luther. The range of attendees symbolises the various natures of the Nazi culture.
During in the deep discussions that are going on round the table, Heydrich proposes methods of how to exterminate the whole race, he proposes sterilisation or execution. Heyrdrich reveals that some of the execution methods are already in place; like the gas vans, this surprises some of the attendees that are round theb table who start to doubt the regime, however the people who are not totally sure on what should happen to the Jews are threatened lightly by Heydrich to make up their minds. Some parts of the film are very comical using language to provoke certain feeling and to interact with the reader.
However there is very limited evidence to support what happened at the Wannsee conference therefore some of this information in the film could be unreliable, but it does create a very good sense of personalities and views towards the Jews at the time conveying that it was a one way journey for the Jewish race and that only one thing was going to happen to them.
Overall this film, conspiracy, in my opinion is very good in portraying people's views in the Nazi party and that there were a diversity of opinions towards what was going to happen. However it is quite a short film therefore it will not give the viewer a full sense of what the conference was like.
