About

Interactive reports, each built on a single study, with the data, the breakdowns, and the methodology that produced them. Cited research is peer-reviewed and academic.

The Institute’s founder traces this work to a moment in childhood. At ten, he asked the man his grandmother had married about the numbers tattooed on his arm; the man had survived Auschwitz. What a child could not fully grasp, the adult came to understand: that such hatred is recent rather than distant, that it reached within a single lifetime and within his own family.

That recognition is the origin of the Institute, and it is a reading of history rather than a position in any present dispute. Progress is not guaranteed, and the distance between assuming an atrocity could never recur and finding its preconditions already present can be short. The inputs that make such hatred possible are, for that reason, worth understanding precisely and early.

The Institute’s response is documentary, not declarative. It does not advocate and does not tell anyone what to conclude; it holds that a phenomenon measured carefully and shown plainly serves the public better than any argument about it. The work is meant to be small and exact rather than large and loud, an instrument for understanding, so that readers can weigh the evidence and decide for themselves what, if anything, should change.
