The concept of genocide is one of the few ideas created from scratch in the 20th century. As a result, it can be incredibly complicated to interpret, both legally and historically. Indeed, the definition itself has often made it difficult to prosecute.

In this episode, I talk with Benjamin Meiches about the evolution of the concept genocide, the role of the Holocaust in its creation, and the challenges the debate over definitions raise today.

Benjamin Meiches is an associate professor at the University of Washington-Tacoma.
