Abstract
The clergy and faithful of the diocese of Wloclawek, created after the end of World War II in the so-called Recovered Territories faced many problems. They dealt with prosaic matters related to their poor material condition, decreasing population due to the strong influence from the Roman Catholic Church, general trend towards secularization of the society and evangelicals permanently emigrating aboard and the need to meet the requirements of the so-called socialist state. With regard to the last problem, on the basis of the archival sources, preserved at Church and National Archives, an attempt to at least partially describe the dimension of the depravity of the state towards the priests of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession.
