Research - Instytut Pileckiego

The Pilecki Institute conducts high-quality, objective research, free from any ideological influence, into 20th-century history, with particular focus on the experiences and fates of Polish citizens. The Institute’s academic activity centers on interdisciplinary research projects addressing totalitarianism
and authoritarianism in the “age of extremes,” the pursuit of punishment and redress for crimes and persecution, and various forms of resistance and opposition to oppressive systems, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. Thanks to the staff associated with the Lemkin Center, crimes committed by the totalitarian Russian authorities in Ukraine are also being documented and publicized.
