The Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation |
Mission Statement:
The Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation has recognized the need for more effective measures to respond to genocide and violent conflict.
Based on the failures of the 20th and 21st centuries of the international community to effectively prevent and stop the mass murder of innocent civilians, there is a need for a stronger coalition of non profit, government, private and academic institutions from around the world with the capacity and knowledge to jointly address contemporary challenges related to peace and social justice, to strengthen democratic values and promote international cooperation in preventing violent conflict and genocide.
The Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation [AIPR] is dedicated to the prevention of genocide and violent conflict. Its mission is to make proactive resistance to genocide a universally accepted position, and to have genocide prevention taught within five years in a third of the world's major universities. In doing so we are set to challenge Albert Einstein's 1934 statement: 'The Brotherhood of the well-intentioned exists even though it is impossible to organize it anywhere.'
