I sent you another post, but the Haaretz censors are working overtime.
Regarding the term "genocide." The Armenian genocide was the event that first prompted Raphael Lemkin to begin his work, which eventually led to the concept and term of "genocide."
However, shortly after he began his work, WWII and the Holocaust began, and Lemkin, a European Jew, escaped Europe and eventually made it to the US. Then, he had a very personal reason to continue his work on genocide, because genocide was being perpetrated against his own people, and his own family perished in it. |
