The Centre for Political Beauty assumes a 21st century in which two genocides occur in Africa and Asia that will dwarf the events of the Holocaust and (once again) catch Western civilisation completely unprepared. The 21st century could become the most genocidal century in world history. In Africa and Asia, the number of victims could far eclipse the 20th century. If the Holocaust is incomparable to anything else, it would fall out of history without being understood and we could take comfort in its non-repeatability and non-recurability.

The prevention of genocide and the military protection of the civilian population are the key issues of the 21st century. The ZPS addresses the unwillingness to actively protect civilians from violence, abuse, displacement and extermination and the monstrosity of renewed genocidal warfare a few decades after the Holocaust in its early works (in: Salvage operations on Lethe, Pillars of Shame and 2099). Sky over Srebrenica shows how the genocide in Srebrenica could have been prevented.
The silence of politicians, intellectuals and the media on the question of what Germany intends to do about genocide means that the prevention of genocide is once again being decided on the side (i.e. alongside tax reduction plans and telecommunications laws) and in a completely haphazard manner. The question of whether and what we as a society are prepared to do against genocide must be discussed in a broad public arena before it is once again too late.
