Polish Center for Holocaust Research was established on July 2, 2003. It brings together researchers drawn from various humanities disciplines: historians, literary scholars, sociologists, psychologists. It conducts interdisciplinary research, combining different methodologies, breaking the previous patterns of describing the Holocaust, revealing different cognitive perspectives and points of view, showing the heterogeneity and ambiguity of the historical matter, looking for new unknown and unconventional sources. Since 2005, the Center publishes academic journal devoted to the subject of the Holocaust in Poland, “Zagłada Żydów. Studia I Materiały | Holoaust Studies and Materials”. Also published are English-language volumes entitled “Holocaust Studies and Materials. “Holocaust Studies and Materials” containing a selection of the most interesting articles published in the Polish-language edition. More information about the yearbook,and Open Access articles can be found directly on its website http://www.zagladazydow.pl

Since 2008, thanks to the efforts of the team, the publishing series “Library of Holocaust Testimonies” has been published, bringing closer the unknown and hard-to-find records of the Holocaust experience. By 2023, 21 volumes have already been published.
