It was also done through the appropriation of some Jewish collections by the Staatsbiblio thek Krakau and the removal and destruction of books in Polish by banned Jewish authors from any operating bookstores and libraries in Cracow and in the General Government. The essay examines the loss of various collections, especially school libraries and the Ezra Library, and efforts to save selected collections during the war.
