--------------------------------------------------------

The JHI’s library holds over 80 thousand volumes on the topics of Jewish history, culture and religion. It is the largest collection in Poland concerning these subject areas. The collection includes priceless manuscripts and prints — the oldest manuscript dates back to the 10th century! We have a wide selection of literature on the topic of the Holocaust, old Jewish prints, classic Jewish literature and classic Polish and world literature translated to Yiddish and Hebrew. The books, as well as the collection of over 2,5 thousand periodicals, can be accessed in the Institute’s Reading Room.
