Axis rule in occupied Europe

Book • 1944
Raphael Lemkin's "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe" is a seminal work that documented the atrocities committed by the Axis powers during World War II. The book meticulously details the systematic persecution and extermination of various groups, providing a comprehensive account of the horrors inflicted upon civilians.

A key contribution of the book is Lemkin's introduction of the term "genocide", which he defined as acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group.

The book served as a crucial foundation for the development of international law concerning genocide and influenced the creation of the Genocide Convention.

Its detailed analysis of the systematic nature of these crimes remains highly relevant in understanding and preventing future atrocities.
