Abstract
ABSTRACT After World War Two in Poland, the issue of Auschwitz was gradually introduced into history classrooms. However, the range and content of information disseminated depended on a multiplicity of political and social factors. The aim of this article is to show the image of Auschwitz and its victims in history textbooks, and to show how it has changed over the years in Poland. The author analyzes textbooks used in Polish schools in the communist period and just after the political transformation. In this example, he shows the process of instrumentalizing history by the educational authorities and tries to answer the question of how it influenced the way the Polish youth perceived the Holocaust.
