Summary/Abstract: Father Władysław Dudziak arrived in Mrągowo in spring 1945 along with one of the groups of resettlers from northern Mazowsze. At the time the town did not have a priest, and the church hall was burnt out and windowless, had been looted and was a complete ruin. Writing about parish life, much of the information Father Dudziak includes concerns daily life in Mrągowo at that time. Father Dudziak played a role in the establishment of the high school in Mrągowo where – apart from religious studies – he also taught mathematics. He also ran the school boarding house. He was parish priest in the town until 1960. In Father Dudziak’s recollections, which recall postwar daily life, optimism and belief in the rebuilding of social life predominate.
