Instead of the Browning article, you may want to take a look at the transcript prepared by Adolf Eichmann at http://www.ghwk.de/engl/kopfengl.htm (Protocol of the Wannsee Conference). We will be watching a portion of Conspiracy, which is a dramatic re-enactment of the conference. You can also learn more about the conference and Haus Wannsee at the ghwk.de site.

For a historical review of the movie, look at Steinweis, Alan E. "Conspriacy." in The American Historical Review 107 (2), Apr 2002, 674-675. (You can find this most easily by going to the journal search and typing "conspiracy" and "wannsee" in the search bar.
