Actually, the word that Eli Wiesel coined was "genocide", from geno,
meaning people, and cide, meaning kill.  Before WWII, the concept of
destroying an entire people AS AN END IN ITSELF had never before
been considered.  Sure, peoples were decimated, but that destruction
was a side effect of some other purpose, not a purpose of its own.
