| Sumario: | This paper and electronic version updates a hardcover publication of 2008 on the life and work of Raphael Lemkin, a central figure in efforts to expose the atrocities committed in the name of the Third Reich, and in efforts at legal reform to prevent such atrocities in the future. During World War II, Lemkin wrote Axis Rule in Occupied Europe, a weighty tome that documented Nazi atrocities and introduced a term Lemkin devised—“genocide”—to describe acts aimed at the destruction of a people. Lemkin served as a consultant at the 1946 trial of major war criminals in Nuremberg. He lobbied United Nations member states to adopt a resolution declaring genocide a crime, and called for a treaty whereby states would collaborate to prevent and punish it. |
