Conference organized at the Museum of Padua Jewish History<\/b> on JANUARY 21, 2026<\/b>, at 3:00 PM<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Genocide is one of the most well-known and controversial words in contemporary legal-political vocabulary. Born from the studies and reflections of Polish-Jewish jurist Raphael Lemkin<\/b> (1900-1959) to designate, with an appropriate neologism, the devastating and radical act of physical and cultural destruction of the Jewish people in Europe carried out by Nazifascism \u2013 later referred to as the Holocaust and more recently Shoah<\/i> \u2013 the word genocide<\/i> was subsequently adopted by the United Nations with the famous resolution 260 (III) A of December 9, 1948. In this document, genocide is defined as a specific series of acts aimed at “destroying, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such.”<\/p>\n
In the approach to Holocaust Memorial Day 2026<\/b>, the Conference of Studies aims to provide a scientific reflection with multiple voices, from an interdisciplinary, historical, and legal perspective, on a word that, since its inception, has attracted both consensus and controversy. A rigorous reconstruction of the genesis and development of the term genocide appears necessary and urgent today, to consciously reflect on the present, in light of a correct understanding of the past.<\/p>\n
Event organized in collaboration with: University of Padua – Department of Political, Legal and International Studies, University Center for the History of Resistance and the Contemporary Age, Martin Buber Cultural Center.<\/p>\n
