Die Wannseekonferenz

Germany 2022, 108 mins; Director: Matti Geschonneck

Starring: Philipp Hochmair, Johannes Allmayer, Maximilian Brückner and others


On 20 January 1942, high-ranking representatives of the Nazi regime from the SS, the NSDAP and the ministerial bureaucracy gathered at a villa on the Großer Wannsee. Reinhard Heydrich had invited them to a meeting to coordinate the so-called ‘Final Solution to the Jewish Question’ – the systematic murder of European Jews. Matti Geschonneck’s film reconstructs the conference almost in real time, based on the minutes handed down by Adolf Eichmann, and turns the bureaucratic language and organisation of mass murder into the subject of an oppressive chamber drama.


Guest: Prof. Dr Peter Klein (Touro University Berlin)

Introduction and moderator: Antje Bernhardt (bernhardt-bildung)
