Raphael Lemkin (June 24, 1900 – August 28, 1959) was a Belarus-born Polish Jewish lawyer who emigrated to the United States in 1941. He is best known for his work against genocide, a word he coined in 1943 or 1944 from the rooted words genos (Greek for family, tribe, or race) and -cide (Latin for killing).
