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.
