 The Pilsudski Institute of North America is one of the most important Polish institutions outside of Poland. It has earned that designation by gathering an invaluable collection of documents on the
modern history of Poland, and by its distinguished record of defending the historical truth about Poland against all adversaries: German occupiers in World War II (1939-1945) or communist rulers imposed by the Soviet Union (1945-1989).This mission was undertaken in 1943 by a group of Polish diplomats, politicians and
veterans of the Polish Legions in World War I who were associates and former soldiers of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, a symbol of Polish independence since 1914.For over half a century, the Institute, apolitical and beholden to no one, has dedicated itself to guard the truth about Poland’s history in order to protect Poland’s good name in the world, and to acquaint all Americans with Poland’s cultural heritage and its contribution to our American heritage. Since Poland regained its sovereignty after the fall of Communism in 1989, the Institute has been active as a research center of the modern history of Poland and as a museum of Polish history and culture. The Institute is located in New York City at:
