A Foundation Rooted in Polish Heritage

INSTYTUT JANA OLSZEWSKIEGO is a Polish foundation established to honour the memory and legacy of Prime Minister Jan Olszewski (1930–2019), one of the most distinguished figures of Polish post-war history.

As a lawyer, politician, and defender of Polish sovereignty, Jan Olszewski served as Prime Minister of Poland from December 1991 to June 1992. His government was the first fully sovereign Polish government after decades of communist rule, committed to truth, justice, and national dignity.

Our foundation carries forward his vision by promoting patriotic values, Christian-social thought, and the ideals of a free and independent Poland.
