Diana Sacilowski is an Assistant Professor of Teaching in the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University, where she teaches Polish language and various Slavic culture courses. She received her Ph.D. in Slavic Languages & Literatures at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 2021. Her primary interests include 19th-21st century Polish literature and culture, Central and East European Jewish culture, Holocaust and memory studies, and postmodernism. Diana was a recipient of a 2024 Polish Studies Initiative grant to support her project that explores how various literary texts intersect with sites of memory in order to better understand the key ideas and methods underpinning Poland’s so-called Jewish “return,” a period, beginning in the early 1980s, that has witnessed a great revival in interest in Jewish culture and history.
