Johnson<\/a>) traces the history of how and why the Wannsee Conference has repeatedly attracted the attention of American, British, and German artists, writers, and filmmakers since 1960. This talk, focusing on two of the book&#8217;s central examples, the television films The Wannsee Conference (1984) and Conspiracy (2001) explores the book&#8217;s origins, sources, and argues that these television films are responsible examples of public history on television.
