History of the Library of Benedictine Monastery in Krzeszów

Abstracts

EN

In 1919, the former Cistercian monastery in Krzeszów became home for German Benedictines who came from Czech Republic. Until World War II, they managed to amass an abundant library containing valuable collection of theological works. Author of the article follows the fate of this book collection, which survived World War II intact and was appropriated by the Prosecutor General’s Office in 1954, becoming a tool in repression against monastic clergy in Silesia conducted at that time by state authorities.
