Summary/Abstract: The diary was written by the teacher Helena Wróblewska, who came to Western Pomerania from the Eastern Borderlands of the Second Polish Republic. She received her education in post-war Poland and was first employed in office work, and then, after completing her education, fulfilled her dream by beginning to work as a teacher. Her story illustrates the societal progress and the steady and systematic work of a woman who recorded her memories from the perspective of a person with a stable professional and material situation, despite the collapse of her marriage. The author describes her own part in the reconstruction of the country after the destruction inflicted by the war, as well as in the development of the school system and care for the young.
