AIPR- the auschwitz institute for peace and reconciliation

Auschwitz

Wisdom is the ultimate good
It flows from knowledge
When moral passion is added, it leads to the search for truth
Knowledge is physical
Truth is metaphysical

Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum

AIPR partners with the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, building on the museum staff's vast experience in Holocaust research and the guidance that the museum and the power of the Auschwitz site has to offer. AIPR's work galvanizes regional leaders around the globe to prevent genocide through our groundbreaking seminars, which bring together policymakers, NGO activists, and military personnel to study genocide and learn how to prevent it in their countries.

The Auschwitz Jewish Center facilities include the Jewish Museum, the Chevra Lomdei Mishnayot Synagogue, and the Education Center. The center's exhibitions and programs are open to students, scholars, and visitors from around the globe. Dedicated to public education, the center's programs focus on the richness of pre-war Jewish life in Oswiecim and build awareness of the dangers of xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and other forms of intolerance.
