As part of the opening ceremony Mr. Daniel Braun, Official Representative of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Mr. Goran Sadikarijo, Executive Director of the Holocaust Fund of the Jews of Macedonia, Mr. Ivan Jordanov, Mayor of municipality of Shtip and PhD Mishko Dzidrov, Vice rector of the University “Goce Delcev” Shtip gave their welcoming remarks.

The film depicts the meeting of the leading representatives of the Nazi regime from the SS, the Reich Chancellery, the police and the administration on the morning of January 20, 1942. in a villa on Lake Wannsee near Berlin. The only topic on the agenda that morning was what the Nazis called the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question": the organization of the systematic mass murder of millions of Jews across Europe. The film gives the viewer an insight into the shocking "normality" displayed during the meeting as procedures, organization and coordination, and responsibilities for the killing of millions of people are discussed as if it were an everyday administrative act.

The event was held as part of the commemoration of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27 and the anniversary of the Wansee Conference on January 20, 1942. The Jews from Macedonia as well as the Jews all over Europe were victims of the so-called final solution of the Jewish question in its crudest form.

The movie screening was organized in close cooperation between the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the Holocaust Fund of the Jews from Macedonia and with the support of municipality of Shtip and the University “Goce Delchev” Shtip.
