Summary/Abstract: The article brings back the religious plays for children, which have been removed from the publishing, libraries, and readers’ circles. Their first issues were published before the Second World War. Their new editions, from the years 1945–1950, came with the erasure of such aspects as: Eastern marches (Vilnius, Lviv), Polish-Bolshevik war of 1920, Polish legions and Józef Piłsudski, and Jews. The Author focuses on following the changes made by censorship at that time. In conclusion, it must be underlined that changes introduced in the plays did not save them from the wave of purges in school and public libraries in the early 1950s.
