Although killing of Jews by Nazi forces began before the Wansee Conference 20 January 1942, the term "Final Solution" rose out of a letter from Herman Göring to the head of the conference and director of the Reichs Main Security Office, SS-Obergruppenführer Reynhard Heydrich. The main purpose of the conference was to address the "Jewish question," the problem created by the Nazi's concentrating prisoners, primarily Jewish, into internment and work camps. Quite literally, housing millions of prisoners became a huge drain on the resources of the Reich, and had begun to create a huge problem for the government who was then involved in war with most of the industrialized world.
