	The article reconstructs and interprets the events that led up to the nationalization of the Salesian orphanage in Jaciążek in 1951. In the study I use the concept of postmemory and the method of qualitative analysis of cultural texts in which the witnesses of the event – the Salesians and their pupils – expressed their traumatic experiences. In spite of differences between the two groups, the main cause of trauma for both was the pseudo-educational activities of the promoters of socialist ideology. In conclusion, I suggest that we recognize socialist pedagogy as a separate instantiation of pseudo-education.
