Lemkin, R.

Japanese: Lemkin,R.(英語表記)LemkinR
Lemkin, R.

...It means mass murder, but since its origin is a compound word of the Greek word genos (race) and the Latin word caedes (murder), it is used to mean the planned destruction of a nation or ethnic (racial) group. The word genocide was first used by the Polish legal scholar R. Lemkin in his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (1944) as a term of condemnation of the persecution of Jews, Gypsies, and others by Nazi Germany. During World War II, the Allied powers called for the punishment of the atrocities of Nazi Germany, and the St. James Declaration of January 1942, issued by the nine governments in exile in London (Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Yugoslavia), listed the punishment as one of the main war aims.
