Wannsee Conference Memorial

Wannsee Conference Memorial

The Wannsee Conference Memorial is a classic site of red tourism.

The Wannsee Conference was a Nazi Germany meeting to discuss the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question." Held on January 20, 1942, at a villa in Wannsee, southwest of Berlin, this conference formalized the planned, systematic extermination of Jews.

The Wannsee Conference was once considered the point when the Nazis decided to halt deportations and indiscriminate killings of Jews, shifting instead to mass extermination. Nowadays, most historians believe the decision for the Holocaust was actually made several months before the Wannsee Conference by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler himself. Today, the former site of the Wannsee Conference has become a memorial and an educational base.

This villa was built between 1914 and 1915 and was originally the mansion of an entrepreneur. The conference hall of the villa has now been converted into an exhibition hall, displaying detailed materials about the Wannsee Conference, helping people deeply understand the atrocities committed by the Nazis and remember this history. Such beautiful scenery once witnessed heinous crimes and atrocities, compelling people to reflect profoundly on history.
