Summary/Abstract: The murder of the first President of the Second Republic of Poland Gabriel Narutowicz on 16th December 1922 by Eligiusz Niewiadomski was one of the most dramatic events of the interwar period of Polish history. The event of this magnitude naturally took an important place in historical education. This statement refers both to the historical narrative presented in Polish school before 1939, in Poland ruled by the communist camp, i.e. between 1945 and 1989, and in free Poland after the Autumn of Nations in 1989. This article presents a synthetic analysis of the events of December 1922 in the historical school education. This means that primary sources of materials used in developing all kinds of publications have been prepared for teaching and learning history in Polish schools. In this group school history textbooks occupy a unique position.
