46KWannseen konferenssi 1942 (2022). Wannseen konferenssi 1942: Directed by Matti Geschonneck. With Philipp Hochmair, Johannes Allmayer, Maximilian Brückner, Matthias Bundschuh. On January 20, 1942, leading representatives of the German Nazi regime met in a villa in Berlin-Wannsee for a meeting that went down in history as the Wannsee Conference, at which the systematic murder of 11 million Jews was decided.
“This might be a difficult watch for some but is an essential one. If it were not for the Americans liberating Adolf Eichmannu0026#39;s minutes and notes on this almost unbelievable historic conference, we would be only guessing at how this horrific u0026#39;eventu0026#39; was perpetuated, drawn up, and executed. The number of handpicked top-ranking officers, along with high-profile bureaucrats (for the areas involved) assembled for this u0026#39;conferenceu0026#39; highlights the depth, commitment, and power of Nazi propaganda amongst those so indoctrinated.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat these personnel could collectively attend a meeting to discuss and plan one of the worldu0026#39;s largest mass murders – in an idyllic and luxurious location, as if simply planning a sales schedule for a popular breakfast product is alarming in the extreme, and frightening to contemplate.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll performances are first class with brilliant direction and cinematography, making this an above-average experience. Itu0026#39;s quite a feat for a movie that plays out in real time, and in the locations it took place, making this a brave and honest German production, made on the 80th anniversary of the shocking Wannsee conference.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile itu0026#39;s almost confined to the rooms these plans were drawn up and approved (like the classic u0026quot;12 Angry Menu0026quot;) it always holds your attention, never waning for an instant. May it be that as humans, we have progressed and learned to ask more questions and bravely fight back – if not, the victims have paid the ultimate price, and others will tragically do so again.”
