European leaders to mark 70th anniversary of Nazi Wannsee Conference
|
![]() Haaretz By Danna Harman Over 70 parliamentarians from across Europe will gather in Brussels on Friday to mark the anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, a pivotal moment in Holocaust history. Seventy years after a group of Nazi officials gathered at a lakeside villa on the Wannsee near Berlin to deliberate on the “final solution,” the statesmen will issue a special declaration to commemorate the event at which various other “final solutions” —such as exile to Madagascar and deportation eastward — were taken off the table in favor of the plan to exterminate European Jewry. |
