Thoughts on The Conference (Die Wannseekonferenz 2022)

Matti Geschonneck’s The Conference (Die Wannseekonferenz 2022), written by Magnus Vattrodt and Paul Mommertz, is a TV film about, as the German title suggests, the January 1942 conference at a lakehouse in Wannsee, near Berlin, where high-level Nazis adopted the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”: working and gassing them in death camps. An opening title card says that the film is based on the Wannsee Protocol, the officially revised and published minutes.
