Summary/Abstract: The article is a memory of working together with Anna Radziwiłł on the creation of history textbooks, and it incorporates key epistemological problems. It stresses the significance of reflection on the learning and teaching objectives and the function of a textbook. The text raises important questions: what should be the content of a textbook, can facts be accompanied by historians’ evaluation, how to show and justify a variety of assessments, how to avoid “hidden” valuations and manipulation.
