	The image of Pope Pius XII in the Communist propaganda in Poland in the years 1945–1958

	 

	After World War II, Pius XII, Pope in the years 1939–1958, became a victim of Communist propaganda in the countries behind the Iron Curtain, including Poland. The head of the Catholic Church was defamed in speech, in writing and using images. This article focuses on the issue of the image of Pius XII emerging from Polish newspapers, books and brochures in 1945–1958. It presents a synthetic image of the Pope created by the authors of publications which could potentially reach each and every Pole. The propaganda depicted the Bishop of Rome as a fascist, a Nazi, an anti-communist, a supporter of “Anglo-American imperialism,” a warmonger, “the Atlantic Pope,” a capitalist, a nepotist, an enemy of workers and peasants, a Germanophile, an anti-Polish revisionist, and a reactionary in matters of science, faith and morality.
