Fifteen leading figures from the National Socialist regime, the party and the Schutzstaffel (including four state secretaries, two civil servants of equivalent rank and an undersecretary), at the invitation of SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, head of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA), met to define the so-called "final solution of the Jewish question" and to clarify directly with the leaders of the potentially competing administrative power structures of the Third Reich that the entire operation was, starting from the directives received from Hermann Göring as early as July 1941, the responsibility of the SS under the supreme authority of Heinrich Himmler and Heydrich himself.
