Between 1939 and 1945 the occupation authorities in Poland did not have a uniform policy with respect to libraries. Their decisions - chaotic and uncoordinated - resulted from their disregard and disdain for Polish culture and literature. We can discern some elements of a limited policy towards scientific libraries in the activities of the Central Administration of Libraries in the General Government. In the regions incorporated into the Reich books were to be destroyed physically - with the exception of some scientific collections which were stored in huge warehouses. As a result of the occupation and the war, Poland lost 71% of its library resources, not counting libraries in the eastern regions of Poland incorporated into the USSR after the war.
