The Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942 was short (about 90 minutes) and was only concerned with co-ordinating the various agencies involved in carrying out the Holocaust. It was not concerned with policy. The decision to embark on the Holocaust was taken at a much higher level and earlier. The Holocaust was already under way at the time of the Wannsee Conference.
You are probably thinking of the Wannsee Conference of 20 January 1942. However, routine mass gassings of Jews had already started at Chelmno (Kulmhof) camp on 8 December 1941. The Wannsee Conference was fairly short (90 minutes) and was concerned with getting the various agencies involved (local police, the SS and the railways) to co-operate.
Haha... Charrliee Wass Here.. You thought you were gonna get an answerr! LMAOO =]
To kill them, to kill them all. It wasn't exactly announced, but it was where the decision was made to kill the Jews. The Nazis had hoped to be able to ship millions of Jews out of Europe to set up a new homeland somewhere so they could get rid of them. When the war started, exporting them became impossible, then the Russian campaign started and the numbers involved became so huge, millions, that they decided extermination was the only solution to the problem. ___ The decision had already been taken and the Final Solution was already in operation. (The first routine mass gassings began at Chelmno on 8 December 1941; the Wannsee Conference took place on 20 January 1942). The conference was concerned with adminstrative co-ordination.
We don't know. It very probably wasn't Adolf Hitler. The term (in German Endlösung) came about as a set of decisions of the so-called Wannsee Conference, held by the Nazi leadership in 1942. The first person to use it was either an unknown participant of the Conference or a secretary drafting the conference documents, looking for a concise 'header' of the proposed measures against the Jews.

This was Nazi Germany's plan during World War II to systematically exterminate the Jewish population in Nazi-occupied Europe through genocide. This policy was formulated in procedural terms at the Wannsee Conference in January 1942, and culminated in the Holocaust which saw the killing of two thirds of the Jewish population of Europe.
