About us

Pilecki Institute USA is a Polish cultural institution specializing in the political history of the 20th century, with a particular focus on the Nazi and Soviet totalitarian regimes and their global consequences. We aim to open our NY location within the next 12 months.

We will be initiating an online presence during this preparatory period. Our online presence is designed to cultivate an engaged audience, laying the groundwork for collaborative initiatives and future programs with peer institutions and museums. The forthcoming introduction of our institute to New York is an exciting opportunity to extend a figurative "Hello to New York" and establish meaningful connections within the cultural and academic communities of the city.
