The Final Solution

All articles

The Final Solution was the Nazi regime’s plan for the systematic extermination of the Jewish population during World War II. Formulated in 1942 at the Wannsee Conference, it marked the shift from forced emigration and ghettos to mass murder. The plan involved the deportation of Jews to concentration camps and extermination camps like Auschwitz, where they were killed in gas chambers. This genocide resulted in the deaths of approximately six million Jews, along with millions of other victims, including Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents. The Final Solution remains one of history’s most horrific war crimes.
