Though Lemkin went on to expand upon his second definition of "genocide," with a brief discourse concerning the various areas of a social system where impositions were being placed on "groups" which furthered their "genocide," it was plain from at least three areas in his book that the whole concept of "genocide" insofar as he had brought it together in 1943 was exceedingly thin, and was not a part of his original plan when he began Axis Rule in Occupied Europe.
Si bien Lemkin se extendió sobre su segunda definición de "genocidio" como sistema social donde se aplicaban determinadas normas a grupos enteros, esa evidente en al menos tres apartados de su libro que el concepto exacto de "genocidio",tal y como lo estableció en 1943, tenÌa escasa consistencia y no formaba parte de su plan original cuando comenzó "Axis Rule".
