Religion and the communist ideology never went hand in hand. Towards the end of the 1940s, the communist authorities started a fight against the Catholic church that was much respected by the Polish society. The fight was not to finish until the end of the communist regime in 1989. However, the intensity of that conflict changed depending on who was in power. From this video you can find out more about the state-Church relations and how they changed staring in the mid-1950s until the end of the 1970s.
The video is intended for the eighth grade of the primary school and for the secondary school.
The core curriculum:
• the 8th grade of the primary school
Section 39: Poland during the years of 1957-1981

• the secondary school (the basic level)

Dear Teachers,
We've been closely cooperating with you over the last four years, preparing offers for schools and giving lessons and classes accordingly. Today we cannot have you in the museum, but education still remains for us the most important matter. And that is why we decided to prepare special video content based on the Polish core curriculum at different educational stages, and we hope it will come in handy during the difficult time of online teaching and learning. Our videos are inspired by our two permanent exhibitions so you can expect topics on the setting, plot and characters of "Pan Tadeusz" along with the historical context of the poem. There will also be videos on the post-war history of Poland. We do hope that such an unusual visit to our museum will support teaching subjects such as Polish, history and civics to your students.
