2.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite as Described, March 31, 2008

This review is from: The Wannsee Conference (DVD)

A mix of historical footage, interviews, and narration. I say it is not quite as described because almost 30 minutes of the 51 minutes running time describes the situation of the Jews in Nazi Germany prior to the conference, leaving only 20 minutes for the conference itself. I think anyone who would buy this video knows most of this information, and wants information about the conference and what happened there. There was very little in the way of details in that regard. The production values were also slightly below average, with the audio of the narrator's voice being drowned out by the music. It was also made before the Wannsee villa became a museum and learning center, so it is a little dated in that regard. Production date: 1992.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the right film; I returned it and got a refund, January 30, 2010

This review is from: The Wannsee Conference (DVD)

Sorry to say, this was a grossly misleading offer. "The Wannsee Conference" is the name of a 1984 German-made film, recreating the actual conference from notes taken by a secretary at the meeting. This VHS tape, though identically titled, was (from what I could gather) a discussion about the conference rather than a re-enactment of the conference itself. I think it should have been more accurately titled so as to avoid confusion with the film of the same name.

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Not As Advertised, January 28, 2008

By 

Historicus "Historicus" (Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wannsee Conference (DVD)

Another reviewer (Tracy) summed up the issues with this DVD quite well and thus I would have to agree with her remarks. Little of the film is about the Wannsee Conference, most of it is 101-level history, and - very annoyingly - the audio is all messed up: the narrator can hardly be heard over the "background" music. Just a sloppily done effort that is a waste of money.
