Katarzyna Czerwonogóra

Katarzyna Czerwonogóra is a historian of modern Jewish history, specializing in the intersection of Zionism, feminism, and Jewish cultural life in Eastern and Central Europe. She holds a PhD in Jewish History from Tel Aviv University and an MA in Sociology from the Jagiellonian University, and has also studied and taught at the European University Viadrina. Before joining the Christosemitism project, she worked extensively in Holocaust education—as an educational coordinator and museum guide at Yad Vashem (2019–2025) and as a Holocaust testimonies indexer for the USC Shoah Foundation. Her publications explore Jewish women’s activism, Zionist feminism, and women’s Holocaust experiences, and she authored the critical introduction to the forthcoming Polish edition of Puah Rakovsky’s Yiddish memoirs. Her interdisciplinary and multilingual work engages questions of memory, gender, and identity in Jewish–Polish relations, past and present. Fellowships from Bar-Ilan University, the Leo Baeck Fellowship Program, and the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute have supported her research. As part of the Christosemitism project, she investigates the responses of the Polish Catholic Church to antisemitism over the last three decades.
