|
A growing coalition of prominent U.S. rabbis is urging Pennsylvania's
Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro and state officials to review the Lemkin
Institute for Genocide Prevention, arguing that the group has distorted
the legacy of Raphael Lemkin, the Polish Jewish jurist who coined the
term "genocide" by using his name to accuse Israel of committing genocide.
Joseph Lemkin, a New Jersey attorney and nephew of Raphael Lemkin, said
the family acted reluctantly but felt compelled after seeing how the
institute’s materials were reaching younger audiences.
"A combination of factors led us to take formal steps against the Lemkin
Institute," Lemkin told Fox News Digital. "I had heard about the Lemkin
Institute’s disturbing position but initially thought it was best to let
the institute continue in anonymity.
"However, when my 16-year-old son (at the time) asked me if I knew about
the institute and what they were espousing on social media, I became
more concerned about the impact the institution's conduct would have on
the next generation.
