Best Answer

Yes.

The word 'Genocide" was created by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-born jurist who served as an adviser to the U.S. Department of War during World War II, to describe the premeditated effort the Nazis put forth to try and kill all the Jewish. (Webster's Dictionary)

So, the whole reason the word was created was to be used to describe the Holocaust.
