Ynet: Pennsylvania Probes Lemkin Institute Name Use

Ynetnews reports that Pennsylvania law-enforcement authorities have opened an investigation into the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention after relatives of Raphael Lemkin and the European Jewish Association complained that the group used Lemkin's name and legacy without authorization while raising donations. The dispute is not over policing opinion, but over nonprofit law, fundraising and the family name of the Jewish jurist who coined "genocide" after the Holocaust. Joseph Lemkin's JPost article says a Department of State complaint is pending, and Ynet says Minister Amichai Chikli urged Governor Josh Shapiro to move the probe quickly. Israel's answer to lawfare must be factual precision and defense of Jewish memory.
