The case of Soghomon Tehlirian was also instrumental in urging Raphael Lemkin, who coined the word genocide in 1944, to investigate the paradox of how a single man, Tehlirian, could be prosecuted for murder, yet the murdered man, Talaat, had almost gotten away after successfully planning and carrying out the extermination of more than one million souls. Soghomon Tehlirian lived in Belgium till 1945, and then he left for San Francisco, where he died on May 23, 1960. He is buried in Fresno, Ca.
