Summary/Abstract: The socio-historical substance of the twentieth century marked it, among other things, as the century of genocide. If the twenty-first century is the century of knowledge, and it should be, there is a legitimate question: how can knowledge prevent, more nad more visible destructive processes in society, including genocide, which is, indeed, the most destructive, and whose destructiveness is focused directly on the sanctity of human life as the highest good and value in general. It is shown in the research that it is necessary to scientifically explain genocide as "the greatest evil" through a separate science of genocide. In order that the constituted science of genocide, in addition to scientific explanation of genocide as a destructive social phenomenon, at the same time, be immediatley in a function of social prevention of future genocides, it is necessary to involve the science in the curricula and introduce pupils and students with the laws of development of genocide and its destructive consequences for the progress and survival of society as a social fact “sui generis”.
