CITY OF HOPE

From HATE
to HOPE

"The only way to predict the future is to design it. That's what OHI is all about."

ABOUT

Imagine 20% of the 2 million yearly visitors to Auschwitz recognizing that we belong to One Humanity and take their personal responsibility.

People often leave the grounds of the Auschwitz Memorial sites internally shattered. Located adjacent to the Auschwitz Museum in the former SS military barracks, One Humanity Institute’s City of Hope will be a safe space for visitors to reflect on what to do with the past in the present and for the future.

World War II illustrates a major horror in our history. Over one million people were murdered in Auschwitz and Birkenau, which have been maintained exactly as they were used to remind people of NEVER AGAIN….but we ask THEN WHAT?

Today there exists terrible potentials for systematic oppression of humanity to occur. How will we avoid war and autocratic control plus total oppression of people? How do we deal with all the problems surrounding us?

Healing the Past, Healing the People:
Contribute to the Whole, be Part of the Solution.

Oświęcim will flourish when people stay with open eyes and open hearts, willing to get involved. The transformation from structures of war into the City of Hope will serve as a critical model to our survival.

By promoting new methods of governance, innovative finance, regenerative economics, and transformative education systems, City of Hope aspires to encourage a new narrative for humanity that not only honors the sacredness of every human, but proposes new systems to nurture this into reality.

This allows every visitor the opportunity to alter their vision of our world and choose new behaviors for adapting and advocating for social equity.

Moving from I to We to One

The EnVisionarium will be an Experiential Museum, a Conference Site, World Servers Court of NGOs, Gardens of Reflection, Transformational Learning Center, Digital Peace Library, plus more spaces for businesses and NGOs to work together and inspire each other and the visitors.

The OHI City of Hope will be a model for the many who visit, for individuals and organizations to partner on projects to replicate globally, and for governmental institutions to conduct research and plan actions for all our growing global concerns.

Only TOGETHER can we open the door to this new future.

I support this initiative which I believe is sorely needed in the world today. There is so much suffering and brutalizing of children and youth that one wonders where the next generation will be going and how they will survive. We have unharnessed proliferation of arms and so many more countries with bombs that another genocide is possible. Within this scenario, we have intolerance, hatred, extremism, and a lack of respect for human beings, animals, and the environment. I believe that this peace center can help to change this and avert violence and wars. I fully support this initiative.

"The One Humanity Institute seeks to take people from feeling fear and horror after visiting the Auschwitz museum to feeling uplifted and hopeful in finding harmony between all of humanity and nature."

Kristin Vala RagnarsdottirProfessor at the University of Iceland

"Hope and courage drive this initiative. A living hub will arise, manifesting the vision of Hope of OHI. Hope greatly influences ones thinking and doing. It can be taught through experience and that is the goal set: to practice with the Heart as a compass, a valuable key to co-create a future that works for all. Love in action that will radiate."
