Ewa Wiatr

Dr. Ewa Wiatr serves as Assistant Professor at the Philip Friedman Centre for Jewish Studies within the Institute of History, Faculty of Philosophy and History at the University of Lodz. Her academic work centers on Holocaust historiography with specialized focus on the Łódź Ghetto and Jewish cultural heritage in Poland.

Her research interests encompass Holocaust studies, Jewish history in Eastern Europe, and the socio-cultural dynamics of the Łódź Ghetto during World War II. She investigates primary sources including ghetto administration documents, survivor testimonies, and Yiddish literature to reconstruct Jewish life under Nazi occupation and post-war revival efforts. Her work particularly examines Jewish resistance mechanisms, cultural preservation, and the administrative structures within the Łódź Ghetto.

Analysis of her 41 publications reveals consistent thematic concentration on Łódź Ghetto documentation, with recent works expanding into institutional histories of Jewish studies centers and post-war cultural anthologies. Her scholarship demonstrates methodological emphasis on archival excavation, oral history, and interdisciplinary approaches connecting history with literary studies.

Dr. Wiatr maintains active academic engagement through the Philip Friedman Centre for Jewish Studies, where she contributes to research initiatives documenting Jewish life in Łódź. Her work supports institutional efforts in Holocaust education and preservation of Jewish cultural memory through primary source publication projects.
