About six weeks after the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering ordered Reinhard Heydrich, Chief of the Security Police, to make preparations for a "total solution" of the Jewish question in Nazi-dominated Europe. One of the results of this order was the conference Am Grossen Wannsee in Berlin on January 20, 1942. Members of a number of German government agencies attended the meeting, at which the "Endloesung" or "Final Solution" was discussed and outlined, together with related topics, such as the treatment of part-Jews and a plan for shipping all Jews to Madagascar. Heydrich proposed that with the aid of the agencies represented, the Jews were to be collected and deported to the East. These discussions are summarized in the Wannsee Protocol and related documents reproduced in both English and German in this volume. Also included is a 1944 report by the U.S. Office of Strategic Services, in which two escapees describe what happened to the deported Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
