Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Kritzinger, Permanent Secretary of the Reichs Chancellery office and top political advisor to Adolf Hitler, has several meetings scheduled on January 20th, 1942. His noon appointment brings him to a villa in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee, where he’s to meet with fourteen other officials for a discussion of the Jewish question. Kritzinger believes he knows what the answer to that question will be, that the Jews will be deported to a place where conditions are livable, and that he has the authority to block the extra-legal ambitions of SS deputy leader Reinhard Heydrich, chairman of the meeting. What Kritzinger learns over the course of his lunch is how wrong he is on both counts, and how his history inside the Nazi regime makes it impossible for him to argue effectively against the Final Solution Heydrich plans to implement.
