A genocide is an organized attempt to exterminate a specific category of people by deliberate murder. Note: The attempt is organized or sponsored. Note: the organization does not have to be as complete or elaborate as the Nazis at Treblinka, but there has to be some group who encourages the perpetrators, or knowingly assists them in carrying it out. The goal is to exterminate the target group.
