The true meaning of the FINAL SOLUTION in a conversation between SS Reinhard Heydrich and his wife, Lina circa 1941. (Transcription below from the English in the video as retold by Lina Heydrich, Reinhard's wife:

Already at the end of 1941, Goering assigned him an order that would later turn out to be the greatest accusation and burden: The "final solution to the Jewish question." Due to its inevitability in Prague, a meeting of all relevant gentlemen and departments was postponed to January 1942. As Reinhard told me about this order, he presented the matter relatively factually. As he said, it was about the organization of the "immigration of All European Jews to Central Russia." "You mean," I asked him, "that all Jews are to be deported to Siberia?" His answer: "Yes, I mean that. Siberia is not the land of terror. It was only made into a specter by the Russian prison camps. Think of von Pomme's father. What did he say?" I remembered Major Pomme's father (Pomme was Chief Adjutant to the Police for Reinhard) was a prisoner of war during the first world war in Russia and had been sent to Siberia. He kept saying to his son: "Once again I want to go to Siberia as a free man. It is a wonderful country."

Reinhard told me that there was everything in Siberia: Fertile land, ores, minerals and coal. When I asked him skeptically whether the Jews would be able to cope with the new conditions, he only said: "Sure. They are intelligent and they need a new start. As it is now, it cannot go on. We want to remove this problem once and for all. Now, in the war, there is a unique opportunity!" And then he outlined his detailed plan, which included road construction himself. Of course, a large percentage, he emphasized, would not survive this resettlement, especially not the old Jews. Natural shrinkage has to be expected. "The Jews we bring to there," he continued, "will settle in." And when I asked him where this state was supposed to come from, he said: "in the north, in the south, in front of or behind the Urals. Behind the Urals and in the middle." And then he showed me the area on the map. There was only one problem. The area had to be conquered first. How, I asked myself, should such a shift be possible? Reinhard's men would do it. That's how the infamous "Wannsee Conference" started for me.
