2. Next, the Wannsee Conference (1942) was a key meeting where senior Nazi officials formalized and coordinated the "Final Solution," the plan to exterminate European Jews.
3. Then, in 1944, Jewish prisoners who escaped from the Auschwitz concentration camp documented the atrocities there in the Auschwitz Protocols, alerting the world to the scale of the genocide.
4. Finally, Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies in 1945, ending the regime and its genocidal campaign.
