Genocide The deliberate killing of a large group of people, esp. those of a particular ethnic group or nation. The word genocide owes its existence to Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish lawyer who fled the Nazi occupation of Poland and arrived in the United States in 1941. Though the term "genocide" was not coined until 1944, acts of genocide have been committed throughout history. In ancient times, it was common practice for victors in war to slaughter the men of a population they conquered. Arguably the first modern genocide took place in the 13th century, when heretics in medieval Europe were massacred during the Albigensian Crusade.
