Thomas Zieringer, artist and chairman of the Friedensmal Foundation, established the Foundation and the Jerusalem Friedensmal. His work is an expression of a longing for peace and understanding.

There needs to be a real acceptance of responsibility that is positive and brings more peace to the world.' (Here you will find his personal story of how he found the vision of the Friedensmal and how it came into fruition).
