Historic luxury villa on Berlin's exclusive Wannsee, with a large park overlooking the water. Built in 1916, it was bought by the SS in 1940 and the notorious Wannsee Conference was held here in 1942. The villa has since been converted to an extensive Holocaust museum.

The Wannsee Conference (January 20, 1942, during World War II) was a high level ministerial meeting of German civilian government and SS officials convened by Reinhard Heydrich, to bring together the leaders of the German organizations whose cooperation was necessary to carry out the German plan for the extermination of the entire Jewish population of Europe and to make it clear to these other German ministers that this "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" was a strategic imperative of the Third Reich.
