Hi everyone!
I'm trying to figure out the marriage laws in 1953 between a Polish man and foreign woman.
In my case:
Polish man marries Italian woman in Italy in the year 1953.
My question is: Does the foreign woman marrying the Polish man, in 1953, renounce her citizenship and automatically become a naturalized Pollack?

Citizenship by marriage in many countries isn't automatic, and being forced to renounce a citizenship from birth applies only in those few countries that don't allow their citizens to hold dual citizenship, should the spouse choose to adopt another citizenship.
So, to answer your question, no, the woman would not have been forced to renounce her Italian citizenship. She could have applied for Polish citizenship at the time of the marriage, but, coming from a capitalist country, the application probably would have taken a while. What she likely would have received first, should the couple have chosen to live in Poland rather than Italy, is a form of permanent residence.

it takes a while to become a citizen of a different country, especially in the marriage took place NOT in this country.
By the way "naturalized Pollack" is not a nice term.

My apologies for using that term. I didn't know it was offensive...
I appreciate your time to respond! This clears things up for me and brings me at ease.
I went to apply for Italian citizenship through my grandmother and they turned me away because I didn't have a letter stating she never became a Polish citizen through her marriage...It's strange that they were certain this was the case. But if it was, I would of happily applied as a Polish citizen through her!
Chers!
