#OTD 20 January 1942, a meeting took place in a villa in Wannsee to discuss the implementation of the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question” – the annihilation of European Jewry. The meeting was initiated by Reinhard Heydrich, Heinrich Himmler’s deputy and head of the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA). Heydrich invited the state secretaries of German government ministries that had been designated to participate in the implementation of the Final Solution. The Wannsee Conference was not convened to decide on the Final Solution, but rather to discuss methods of implementation, the decision itself having already been made at an earlier date.

Remembering Together on International Holocaust Remembrance Day On January 27, the world pauses to honor the memory of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust. At Yad Vashem, we also remember that nearly 1,000,000 names are still missing — lives erased but not forgotten. Each name recovered is a world restored. Your support helps us uncover these lost lives, from fragile Pages of Testimony to hidden archives and family records. This Holocaust Remembrance Day, stand with us. Help restore names, preserve memories, and ensure that every story endures. 🙏 Donate now to continue this vital work. 🕯️ #EveryNameIsAWorld The campaign logo is inspired by a photograph preserved in Yad Vashem’s Archives: a portrait of Alexander Mueller from Czechoslovakia, murdered in the Holocaust (Archival Signature 6756/406).
