This review is from: The Wansee Protocol and a 1944 Report on Auschwitz by the Office of Strategic Services (Volume 11 of The Holocaust: Selected Documents in 18 Volumes) (Vol. 11) (Hardcover)
If you want to know the facts about the Wannsee conference otherwise than by hearsay. Just try getting this book or to find it in a library (it took me more than two years to find a copy).
Most of the documents concerning 'preparing the conference', 'the conference' and its 'immediate implementation' are there in fac-simile form: most are properly translated in English. It's hard to get these documents. Some are missing (like the Walter Schellenberg letter of April 1941 or the note in Himmler's diary "Juden als partisan aus rüsten") but this is due to their appearance in other volumes of the collection Invaluable for the serious student of this dark mystery of human history. As an inmate of Auschwitz titled her memoirs, it was "An unnecessary experience" for humanity but if you cannot know about it without the urge to really know more, then this is a must read book. It's not a book however that one can easily get over with: we come out of it different from when we got in it.
