On January, 20, 1942, Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's second in command of the SS, convened the Wannsee Conference in Berlin with 15 top Nazi bureaucrats to coordinate the Final Solution in which the Nazis would attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish population of Europe, an estimated 11 million persons.
"Europe would be combed of Jews from east to west," Heydrich stated.
The minutes of that meeting have been preserved but were edited by Heydrich substituting the coded language Nazis used when referring to lethal actions to be taken against Jews.
"Instead of emigration, there is now a further possible solution to which the Führer has already signified his consent - namely deportation to the east," Heydrich stated for example when referring to mass deportations of Jews to ghettos in occupied Poland and then on to the soon-opened death camps at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka.
At the Wannsee Conference in January 1942
Hitler was not present. The most senior Nazi at the meeting was Heydrich. The Wannsee Conference did not take any policy decisions: it was concerned with co-ordinating the roles of the various agencies involved in carrying out the "Final Solution" (Holocaust), such as the SS, the local police, the railways and so on.
In short the Wannsee conference was held to set in motion the final solution. Heydrich was tasked as chief executer of disposing of Germany's Jewish problem. The Wansee conference was to gain the support for the final solution from all those departments head involved in Jewish policies.

One word would be 'Brutal'. The word means 'Harsh when you get a beating'. Jews got beaten by the Nazis.

The Wannsee Conference, but it is not agreed that it established the Final Solution.
You are probably thinking of the Wannsee Conference of 20 January 1942. However, routine mass gassings of Jews had already started at Chelmno (Kulmhof) camp on 8 December 1941. The Wannsee Conference was fairly short (90 minutes) and was concerned with getting the various agencies involved (local police, the SS and the railways) to co-operate.
