Dziś i Jutro (Polish pronunciation: [ˈd͡ʑiɕ ˈi ˈju.trɔ], Polish: Today and Tomorrow) was a Catholic weekly illustrated magazine which was published between 1945 and 1956 in Warsaw, Poland. It was one of the publications supported by the ruling Communist Party.

History and profile

Dziś i Jutro was founded in 1945 by a group led by Bolesław Piasecki, and its first issue appeared on 25 November that year.[1] The group was the members of a philo-Stalinist movement and was known with the title of the magazine until 1952.[1] The goal of the magazine was to secure the acceptance of the revolutionary socialist changes by the Catholics in the country and to produce a synthesis between Catholicism and Marxism.[2] From 1947 the publisher of Dziś i Jutro was a company owned by its founding group.[3]

Its subtitle was A Catholic Social Weekly, but its use by the magazine was banned by the Catholic Church in Poland.[4] The magazine came out weekly and was headquartered in Warsaw.[5] The Catholic Church did not give permission its members to subscribe to it or publish articles in it.[4] The magazine was included in the list of prohibited publications of the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office in 1955.[6][7] As of 1955–1956 the magazine sold around 5,000 copies.[6]

Dziś i Jutro ceased publication in May 1956 and was succeeded by another weekly Catholic magazine Kierunki.[7][8]
