Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to establish the Polish Roman law scholars’ fates in the period of 1939–1945. Second World War changed their lifetimes dramatically. Some of the scholars were arrested, some of them were murdered, some of them had to leave Poland. After the German and Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939 Polish academics were not permitted to give lectures, so higher education of lawyers, including Roman law lectures, transformed into underground education at secret law faculties all over Poland. Despite the difficulties, Roman law – as a university subject – was constantly taught in all centres of legal education in Poland.
