Katka Reszke (PhD Hebrew University of Jerusalem) is a researcher in Jewish history, culture, and identity. She has lectured in Israel, Poland, and France. As a documentary filmmaker, her work focuses on human rights, social justice, minority and gender issues, and Polish-Jewish history.

“Uniquely positioned as both an insider and an acute outside observer, Katka Reszke provides an insightful analysis of a controversial and still developing phenomenon that has bemused, perplexed and sometimes enraged the outside Jewish world. In doing so, she gives rare and welcome voice to the actual protagonists, Poland’s new Jews, and sets in complex context their unprecedented, and often poignant, quest for place, identity and selfhood amid the brave new Jewish realities of post-communist Poland.”
