The Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute Press is responsible for publishing academic and popular science books on Jewish history and culture, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe. The publications of the JHI Publishing House include works presenting the research of JHI employees, books by external Polish authors and translations, also from Hebrew and Yiddish.

Our publications include scientific and popular science monographs in the field of, among others: history, sociology, philosophy and literary studies presenting the results of the latest research in the field of Jewish studies. A special place among scientific works is dedicated to those focusing on the history of the Holocaust and the fate of Polish Jews before and after World War II. As part of the CŻKH (The Central Jewish Historical Commission in Poland) Critical Edition series, we present the achievements of early studies of the Holocaust in Poland.

Our mission is to publish accounts of Holocaust witnesses, written in real-time or in hindsight. We published the writings of Rachel Auerbach and the diary of Abraham Lewin, which are key to the history of the Warsaw Ghetto. The series Memories and Accounts (formerly: Memories, Accounts, Diaries) published several dozen books of memoirs documenting the fate of Polish Jews during the German occupation. In our publications, we disseminate materials collected by the “Oneg Shabbat” group in the Ringelblum Archive. Selected volumes of the full edition of the Ringelblum Archive are available in English translation.

An important branch of our activity is recalling the work of Jewish artists. In the Yiddishland publishing series, developed in cooperation with the Polish Association for Yiddish Studies, we pay special attention to culture, especially literature created in Yiddish. In turn, in albums and catalogues accompanying exhibitions organized at the Jewish Historical Institute, we present the profiles and works of Jewish painters and graphic artists.

We also prepare editions of sources, monographs, essays and collections of commentaries on Jewish spirituality and customs. In the Sources for the Study of Jewish Spirituality series, we publish classic texts expressing Jewish spirituality in its various dimensions throughout history in the original language and Polish translation.

A very important aspect, and often the common denominator of many of our publications, is the subject of Polish-Jewish relations.

Our books are reviewed by independent academic experts associated with Polish and international universities. The Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute Press is listed at the first level on the list of publishers publishing peer-reviewed scientific monographs of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Unique Publishing Identifier: 77400).
