January 23, 1942:


"Cold and ruthless, Reinhard Heydrich earned the nickname "The Hangman."
When he hosted the Wannsee Conference, he made sure his guests were comfortable by providing them with refreshments.
He then opened with a speech that discussed the deportation of 11 million Jews--including those of England and Ireland--to the East, meaning instant death or extermination through work.
Heydrich would be assassinated in the spring of 1942."
