Some time ago there were several posts about the Nazi intentions vis a vis the Jews. As someof you may know there is a wonderful HBO film available concerning the Wannsee Conference andThe Final Solution. It is available in video stores as well as on U-tube. Just type in Wannsee movieand 11 parts are available. Kenneth Branaugh stars, but I believe that Stanley Tucci's portrayal ofEichman is stellar. It appears quite accurate factually and the workings of bureaucracies arerevealed in all their horror.

Treasury department ? ;D
I saw a movie some years back about the decision that brought about the “Final Solution”. I can't remember why we rented it…perhaps we thought there would be more action in the movie. I believe it ended up being about a dinner party at which the Nazi officers came up with their plan. It sounds like the same movie you're talking about, but I don't recall Kenneth Branaugh being in it. Perhaps he did a remake?
Conspiracy: The Meeting at Wannsee – 2001On January 20th 1942, 15 men gathered in a villa on the outskirts of Berlin to feast on food and drink and discuss their business at hand. An hour and a half later, the Final Solution had been planned, sealing the fate of millions of European Jews.Kenneth Branagh, Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth star in Conspiracy, an award-winning HBO Films/BBC Films co-production for BBC TWO.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266425/
Treasury department ? Actually Treasury was pretty good. For a real horror show we used to look at Justice. As a character in a film once replied when he was asked why he abandon law and joined the Nazi SS " Law taught me to distrust language". I thought that was a great line.

Maybe that was it after all. I probably saw it around 2001 or 2002. Not to go too far off topic, but for those interested in Stanley Tucci movies, he did a good job in Julie and Julia.
