Answer 2

Genocide is the attempt to completely erase a particular group of people (race or religion usually) by killing them off.

Almost definately, the most well-known case of genocide in the past century has been what has come to be called the Holocaust (or sometimes Shoah) inflicted by the Nazi regime in the late-1930's to the mid-1940's. Of course, the most obvious, was the Nazis' attempt to kill off the Jewish race (they saw it as "race", and in this context, that's the word I'll use; although I know it's a pet peeve to people who are Jewish and claim that it's a faith, not a race). However, homosexuals, gypsies, Catholics, and many other groups who were not Hitler's idea of perfection ("Aryan") were included, and "genocide" is the correct term for most, if not all, of those groups.

Genocide is a term defined by Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

Lemkin's original genocide definition was narrow, based mainly on the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide, as it addressed only crimes against "national groups" rather than "groups" in general. At the same time, it was broad in that it included not only physical genocide but also acts aimed at destroying the culture and livelihood of the group. According to the Swiss professor Julia Fribourg, the term "genocide" includes displacement of national groups from their homelands with an aim of destroying their cultural and habitational grounds.

The words used before this to describe such an atrocity were "Barbarity" and "Vandalism." Lemkin felt that these did not accurately describe the atrocities and coined the word Genocide. [2]

Coining of the term genocide

The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959), a Polish Jewish legal scholar, in 1943, from the roots genos (Greek for family, tribe or race) and -cide (Latin - occidere or cideo - to massacre).

Lemkin said about the definition of genocide in its original adoption for international law at the Geneva Conventions:

Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.[1]

Lemkin's original genocide definition was narrow, based mainly on the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide, as it addressed only crimes against "national groups" rather than "groups" in general. At the same time, it was broad in that it included not only physical genocide but also acts aimed at destroying the culture and livelihood of the group.
