Wiedza Powszechna


Wiedza Powszechna is a publishing house in Poland.
It originated in 1946 in Post World War II Poland as a subdivision of the Czytelnik publishing house, initiated by Stanisław Tazbir. In 1952, with the major rearrangement of the state, which officially became the Polish People's Republic, the government created a separate State Publishing House Wiedza Powszechna. It became a major publisher specializing in dictionaries, specializing in foreign language dictionaries and textbooks.
