"Hitler's infamous treatment of the Jews was well under way by the end of 1941, but it was at the Wannsee Conference of January 1942 that Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the Reich Security Service, officially announced the Nazi party's pursuit of the "final solution."".

"This book traces a complicated, terrible and fascinating history from 1914 to the present. A wealth of historical documents are presented including the Reich's rules "defining" Jews, letters documenting the Holocaust, and transcripts of court testimony regarding the conference."--BOOK JACKET.
