Understanding Genocide: Raphael Lemkin and the Origin of the Word
Hosted By: Open Learning
Open Learning—American Jewish University hosts a three-part series examining the historical origins, legal definitions, and instances of genocide in the post-Holocaust era. Distinguished scholar in Holocaust and Genocide Studies Michael Berenbaum explores the pioneering work of Raphael Lemkin, the Polish-Jewish lawyer who coined the term “genocide.” The first session focuses on Lemkin’s efforts to define and conceptualize genocide, his advocacy for international recognition, and the historical context that influenced his work.
