The never-before published autobiography of Raphael Lemkin, a giant
among twentieth-century ethical thinkers Among the greatest
intellectual heroes of modern times, Raphael Lemkin lived an
extraordinary life of struggle and hardship, yet altered
international law and redefined the world’s understanding of
group rights. He invented the concept and word “genocide” and
propelled the idea into international legal status. An uncommonly
creative pioneer in ethical thought, he twice was nominated for the
Nobel Peace Prize. Although Lemkin died alone and in poverty,
he left behind a model for a life of activism, a legacy of major
contributions to international law, and—not least—an
unpublished autobiography. Presented here for the first time is his
own account of his life, from his boyhood on a small farm in Poland
with his Jewish parents, to his perilous escape from Nazi Europe,
through his arrival in the United States and rise to influence as
an academic, thinker, and revered lawyer of international criminal
law.
