The Conference

“When Humanity Lost The War”

Reinhard Heydrich (Philipp Hochmair), head of the Reich Security Main Office, summons fifteen men to a villa in Berlin-Wannsee on January 20, 1942. Adolf Eichmann (Johannes Allmayer) keeps the minutes while the officials around the table are there to settle how eleven million European Jews will be murdered. Matti Geschonneck stages it as one long meeting, and the dull routine of the talk is what frightens.
