Summary/Abstract: The socio-historical substance of the twentieth century marked it by, among other things, as the century of genocide. If the 21st century is a century of knowledge, and it should be, there is a legitimate question:how to prevent growing destructive processes in society with knowledge, including genocide, which indeed, is the most destructive and whose destructiveness is focused directly on the sanctity of human life as the ultimate good and value in general. The research shows that genocide as “the greatest evil”is necessary to explain scientifically through a separate science of genocide. In order for the constituted science of genocide, in addition to scientific explanation of genocide as a destructive social phenomenon,at the same time, to be in a function of social prevention of future genocide, it is necessary to include it in curricula, so that pupils and students become familiar with the laws of development of genocide and its destructive consequences for the survival and progress of society as a social fact “sui generis”.
