Editorial annotation
General-reference encyclopedia article, consulted via citation rather than primary Iraqi or League of Nations archival records, on the August 1933 massacre of Assyrians in and around Simele, its reported death toll (approximately 3,000 across around 63 villages), and its influence on Raphael Lemkin's coining of the term "genocide."
