  There is snow in front of the House of the Wannsee Conference. On January 20, 1942, high-ranking NSDAP and SS officials met in the villa on Berlin's Wannsee.

The Wannsee Conference Memorial Exhibit is a chilling documentation of the systematic process which led to the Holocaust.

On the 50th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, January 20, 1992, a memorial and educational site was opened in the villa where it took place. The permanent exhibition "The Wannsee Conference and the Genocide of the European Jews" sheds light not only on the Wannsee Conference itself, but also on the political climate in which it took place and the terrible consequences of the meeting.

Changing exhibitions and library

Using minutes, statements from victims, film and sound recordings and photographs, visitors can learn about the progressive exclusion and disenfranchisement of European Jews in the 1930s and about the deportations and murders by the National Socialist regime. Regularly changing exhibitions on key themes complement the permanent exhibition. The Joseph Wulf Bibliothek on the second floor houses a large collection of books on the Nazi era.

The Wannsee Conference

On January 20, 1942, the Wannsee Conference took place, at which leaders of the SS and the NSDAP discussed the so-called "Final Solution", according to which the Jews in Europe were systematically deported and murdered. The minutes of the conference were drawn up by Adolf Eichmann, the so-called deportation expert at the Reich Main Security Office.
