What is The Final Solution?

Is it:

1. A mathematical hypothesis that can divide any number by zero and thus prove how the universe came together?

2. An ongoing debate among the World Health Organization to eradicate AIDS in Africa by 2060?

3. A systematic elimination of Jews by Germans in World War 2?

4. A logical process Sherlock Holmes devised to crack his murder mysteries?

The answer:

Perhaps, you are familiar with its other name: The Holocaust.

This happened in World War 2. The Nazis had decided the Jewish peoples were troubling his European conquest. So Hitler devised a plan to round up the Jews and murder them. 6 million Jews were imprisoned in concentration camps and gassed, shot and mutilated.

This decision to systematically kill the Jews of Europe was made at the Wannsee conference in Berlin. During the conference, a group of Nazi officials convened to decide on the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question". The records and minutes of this meeting were found intact by the Allies at the end of the war and served as valuable evidence during the Nuremberg Trials.

The Final Solution was the blueprint; The Holocaust was the execution.
