A stark, procedural documentation of bureaucratic evil—a real-time reconstruction of the conference that orchestrated the Holocaust, demanding intellectual engagement with humanity's capacity for systematic atrocity.

A real time recreation of the 1942 Wannsee Conference, in which leading SS and Nazi Party officals gathered to discuss the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Led by SS-General Reinhard Heydrich, the Wannsee Conference was the starting point for the Jewish Holcaust which led to the mass murder of six million people.
