The following is the official record of the conversation between Adolf Hitler and Haj Amin al-Husseini in Berlin. You may note that while the Leader of National Socialist Germany seems to be committed to the battle against world Jewry, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem is only concerned with Arab and Palestinian's interests as one would expect him to be. In the entire text there is not a single reference to 'Jew burning' as Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu suggested yesterday.
You can read the rest, including the transcript, here:

For the sake of comparison, here is an English translation of the transcript of the Wannsee Conference concerning "the final solution of the Jewish question" which took place in Berlin, am Grossen Wannsee No. 56/58 on 20 January 1942:

Note well that neither transcript contains any discussion regarding gassing, burning, stabbing, or otherwise directly killing anyone.
But I do agree that in hindsight one could interpret various parts of either transcript to have been a discussion of intended actions or inactions which resulted in what is now known as the Holocaust.
