Raphael Lemkin (June 24, 1900 -- August 28, 1959)
The word coined by Raphael Lemkin in 1943 is "genocide." It refers to the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group. Lemkin created this term to describe the atrocities committed during the Holocaust and to highlight the need for legal protection against such acts. Genocide encompasses various forms of violence and persecution aimed at eradicating a group’s identity.

The genocide was chosen based on hate. It was a personal vendetta that was stemmed from no logical reason nor explanation but prejudice itself. Ultimately, no solutions were proposed.
Raphael Lemkin was angered by the widespread atrocities committed during World War II, particularly the Holocaust, where millions of Jews and other targeted groups were systematically exterminated. His outrage stemmed from the lack of legal mechanisms to prevent such acts and hold perpetrators accountable. This drove him to coin the term "genocide" and advocate for international laws to protect vulnerable populations from mass violence. His efforts ultimately contributed to the establishment of legal frameworks against genocide.
