The Centre for Jewish Studies was established on July 1, 2005, at the Institute of History of the University of 艁贸d藕. Since 2023, the Centre has been named after Philip Friedman, a world-renowned Holocaust scholar born in Lviv in 1901 who also had ties to 艁贸d藕.

The Centre鈥檚 mission is to conduct research on the history of Jews in Poland. Its research activities focus primarily on the 19th and 20th centuries, a focus largely dictated by the specific characteristics of the 艁贸d藕 region. The history of the 艁贸d藕 ghetto and the German occupation of 艁贸d藕 and the surrounding region holds a special place in the research conducted by the Center鈥檚 team.

The Centre for Jewish Studies carries out research and publishing projects in collaboration with academic institutions in Poland and abroad.

The Center鈥檚 achievements to date include the publication of the five-volume source collection: Chronicle of the 艁贸d藕 Ghetto/Litzmannstadt Ghetto 1941鈥�1944, the Encyclopedia of the Ghetto, and a series of monographs and scholarly articles. Additional sources on the history of the 艁贸d藕 Ghetto are being published on an ongoing basis.
