This week marks the 79th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference, where the Nazis laid the groundwork for the mass extermination of Jews. On 20 Jan 1942, 15 Nazi officials, led by Heydrich & Eichmann, met in a mansion in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee to sign the Wannsee Protocol. 1/
There, representatives of govt. ministries, the railways & the military mapped out the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” Pictured below: List of the numbers of Jews to be exterminated in each country, totaling about 11,000,000, as prepared by Eichmann for the conference 2/
The list has two groups, labelled "A" & "B."  Those in group "A" were already under Nazi rule at the time of the Conference, while those in group "B" were planned for future conquest. Never before or since has an ethno-religious group been subject to pre-planned annihilation 3/
