In this pathbreaking study Polish emigre Raphael Lemkin 1900-1959 coined the term "genocide" and defined it as a subject of international law. While the term has come to mean the extermination of a people Lemkin used it to describe all programs that sought to increase "Aryan" birthrate while working to exterminate the social cultural and economic independence of non-Germanic peoples. This study was an elaboration of ideas he first proposed in 1933 in his address to the Fifth International Conference for the Unification of Penal Law 1933 which argued that attacks on racial religious and ethnic groups should be considered international crimes. Important for the prosecution of the Nazis it helped to establish the framework for all subsequent efforts to punish crimes against humanity. unknown books
