Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace and
Justice
Unfortunately, peace monuments and museums are largely underappreciated because they are overwhelmed by the vastly superior number of war monuments and museums everywhere in the world. . . . .
This is the first book to reveal the beauty, the variety, and the meanings of peace monuments and museums. Arranged chronologically, it shows a selection of 416 peace monuments and museums from 70 countries and from all eras as far back as the Greeks and Romans.
Fortunately, more peace monuments and museums are being constructed today than ever before. This creates yet another reason to study the past -- so we can know better how to build our own peace monuments and museums. What peace achievements and events do we want to memorialize? What legacies of peace do we want to bestow on future generations?

Monumental Beauty:
Peace Monuments
By Edward W. Lollis
Published by Peace Partners International, Inc., May 2013, 75 pages, 8-1/2x11 inches/22x28 cm, 445 illustrations, entirely in color.
These pages are a feast for the eyes. Peruse them quickly or slowly. Either
way, you will marvel at the beauty, the creative genius, and the legacies of peace
which the constructors of peace monuments and museums have bestowed on us,
their heirs.
Peace monuments and museums celebrate the end of war and the
expectation of peace and prosperity. They express peaceful human aspirations
such as justice, tolerance, and reconciliation.
They celebrate such achievements as the abolition of slavery,
women's suffrage, defeat of tyrannical and murderous regimes, declaration of
human rights, respect for conscientious objectors, end of apartheid, non-use of
nuclear weapons, racial integration, recognition of international
interdependence, reconciliation of divided nations, and struggle for gender
equality.
Unfortunately, peace monuments and museums are largely
underappreciated because they are overwhelmed by the vastly superior number of
war monuments and museums everywhere in the world.
This is the first book to reveal the beauty, the variety, and the
meanings of peace monuments and museums. Arranged chronologically, it shows a
selection of 416 peace monuments and museums from 70 countries and from all
eras as far back as the Greeks and Romans.
Fortunately, more peace monuments and museums are being
constructed today than ever before. This creates yet another reason to study
the past -- so we can know better how to build our own peace monuments and
museums. What peace achievements and events do we want to memorialize? What
legacies of peace do we want to bestow on future generations?
Monumental Beauty is available worldwide.

Quotes & Endorsements
- Betty A. Reardon,
Founding Director Emeritus, International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE): "This slim volume is a unique and valuable tool
for peace educators. It is a picture guide through the centuries-long history of monuments and museums that
memorialize the making of and major interruptions of peace, wars waged and
peaces negotiated, and landmarks in the advancement of justice. It spans from
the third millennium BCE to projections into the future, with renderings of
monuments to be constructed in years to come. It reflects the growing role of
peace museums in bringing the costs of war and the possibilities for peace to
public consciousness, a consciousness that is the essential condition for the
actual social and political cultivation of peace. Monumental Beauty should be
in all peace studies collections and in the hands of all who affirm the role of
art, history and public education in the making of peace." - Barbara J. Wien,
Lecturer, International Peace and Conflict Resolution Master’s Program, The
American University, and Lecturer, Justice and Peace Studies Program, - Doug
Martin Sturomski, Musical Martins, World Wide Peace Bell Foundation,
Hopewell Junction, - Glenn Paige - Professor Emeritus of Political
Science, University of Hawai‘i, and Chair of Governing Council, Center

- Christian Bartolf, Gandhi
Information Center, Berlin (Germany): "Your book (and your website) opens the eyes to each reader to understand how many monuments,
museums, plaques and sculptures exist on our globe to warn us not to continue
with the military system and (civil) war! It is full of information for those
who want to transform their pacifism into a soul force to end all wars."
- Arthur Eyffinger, classicist and
historian, founding director of JUDICAP, former staff member of the Grotius
Institute of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Peace
Palace Library and the
International Court of Justice, The Hague (Netherlands): "Your book is a treasure trove of items known

The International
Network of Museums for Peace (originally
the International Network of Peace Museums) was established following a
conference in Bradford in 1992, organised by a
British Quaker charity, the Give Peace A Chance Trust. At this conference, for
the first time, directors and curators of peace and anti-war museums worldwide
came together. The loose network which emerged aimed to promote cooperation
between peace museums and to stimulate the creation of new
peace museums across the world.
Contents
1992 - 2010[edit]
In its early years, the Network was very informal,
sustained by occasional newsletters between international conferences. As the
number of peace museums worldwide increased, however, the Network needed to
formalise its structures. Steps towards addressing this were taken at the
Gernika conference of 2005, including changing the name of the organisation to
the International Network of
Museums for Peace (INMP). In
2009 the INMP was established as a foundation in The Hague
and, with the support of the municipality, opened its secretariat and archive
in a modern office near the Peace
Palace
Background[edit]
The INMP is registered with the UN as an international NGO with ECOSOC status, and gained ANBI-status in the Netherlands. The
foundation consists of a General Coordinator, twelve international Executive
Board members and twelve international members in the Advisory Board. The
recently opened office is managed by a Secretariat Administrator.
Museums for Peace
The definition of Museums for Peace according to INMP is non-profit educational institutions that promote a culture of peace through interpreting, collecting and displaying peace related material. They inform the public about peace and nonviolence using illustrations from the lives of individuals, the work of organizations, campaigns and historical events. Included are also peace related sites, centers and institutions which are involved in peace education through exhibitions, documentation and other related activities.

Aims
Since 1992 the aims of the INMP have been ♦to promote cooperation between peace museums and ♦to stimulate the creation of new peace museums across the world. However, with the establishment of INMP as a foundation, five more aims have been added. ♦To the secretariat, to make a mainstay in the daily operation and development of the INMP and ♦to recruit an extensive database of Museums for Peace. As well as ♦organizing international conferences, ♦ educational projects and ♦traveling exhibitions on the promotion and stimulation of peace.

Okinawa’s The Cornerstone of Peace and the US
Perhaps
uniquely, this memorial to the victims of wars truly and equally embraces all
of the victims, for inscribed on the gigantic stones are the names of all of
the military and civilian Okinawans, other Japanese nationals, US, British, and
other allied soldiers, and Korean forced laborers. Because of this inclusiveness, it is the most
affecting monument to peace I have ever seen (in 1998) or read about and
perhaps the most universally effective monument to peace ever constructed. Contrast the US
Vietnam War Memorial in Washington , DC US U.S. flag and a heroic
statue of U.S.
Okinawaology Blog
Hello, my name is Tom Corrao and I am the blogger behind
the Okinawaology Blog. I created this blog to share and discuss all things
Okinawan. I’m also the Public Relations Officer and Minkan Taishi to the
Chicago Okinawa Kenjinkai. My experience with Okinawa
is derived from the time I spent there during the 1980's and 90's (10 years)
when serving in the United States Air Force. I've also been married to an
Okinawan woman for 30 years now and have been immersed in many things Okinawan
through both friends and family. . . .

Okinawa's Peace Memorial
Park
A good portion of our
tour with the Itoman City group was spent at the Okinawa Heiwa Kinen Koen
or Peace Memorial Park
I had been to the peace
park many times in the past while living in Okinawa during the eighties but the
park has been greatly developed since then an has become a totally different
environment today. Here is a video of our experience. You'll notice at the end
of the film clip I found an elevator and took it to the top where I found an
observatory deck where I was able to get some good shots of the park from
above.
Towering over this
extensive park is the Peace Prayer and Memorial Hall. Inside the hall there is
a Peace Buddha and paintings done by artists from around the world, the hall
represents the hope for world peace.
Adjacent
to Memorial Hall is the Cornerstone of Peace and the stone wall monuments that
hold the names of more than 234,000 people who lost their lives during the
battle in Okinawa . It is very similar to the
Vietnam war memorial in Washington
DC
The
Okinawan names included on the walls belong not only to victims from the Battle of Okinawa , but
also to every known Okinawan who lost their life anywhere in the Pacific during
World War II. It is estimated that one third of the island’s total population
perished during that time. The walls also include the names of Japanese,
Americans, and all other foreigners who died during the Battle
of Okinawa .
The rows of black
granite engraved with names of the lost souls who are remembered here is a
sobering sight. Nearly all Okinawans have a family members, relatives, or
friends whose names are engraved on the walls.
The park has been
designed so that the sun will cast its shadow past the Cornerstone of
Peace and down the monuments center path on June 23 each year, the exact day
the battle for Okinawa ended. Every year on
this date (Irei no hi), a memorial service takes place and there are free music
concerts are held at the park. Facing the ocean, you'll find “Monument Road Japan ’s other prefectures to memorialize the
soldiers from their prefecture who died in Okinawa .
If you walk to the end of the road to find another monument on the very site
where Lieutenant General Ushijima, Commander of the Japanese Imperial Army in Okinawa , killed himself before the island fell.
