Summary/Abstract: Aim: The aim of the article is to analyze religious education textbooks published in Poland in 1945-1949. The attached bibliography includes 40 items.

Results/Conclusions: Most books were published in Cracow in the Cracow Bookstore in 1947-1948 and the authors of the majority of textbooks were priests. Some textbooks had their pre-war editions.
