Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz

"Am grossen Wannsee 56-58". A sinister address. On 20th January 1942 - on Hitler's orders - the SS and government top-brass discussed the technical arrangements for the "final solution of the Jewish problem" in this very place. 50 years later, this villa has been turned into a museum for visitors to remember and to learn from the horrors of the past.

The permanent exhibition recounts the tragic history of the holocaust (1933-45) in a lucid yet sensitive fashion. An educational department offers study days and seminars in political education (Appointment: +49 (0) 30 805 00 10) while the Mediothek contains a comprehensive collection of documents covering, amongst other things, nationalism, antisemitism and Neonazism (Open: 11am-6pm Tue-Fri).

Admission: free
