Summary/Abstract: Contrary to the General Government, few diaries have been published describing Poles’ everyday lives who survived the German occupation on territories incorporated into the Reich already in 1939. This is mainly the scientific value of the Diary of Toruń painter and bibliophile Eugeniusz Przybył. The Diary makes it possible to look at the everyday life of Poles not only from the perspective of Warsaw or Cracow, but also of the towns incorporated into the Reich and the elements of the German occupation policy characteristic only for this area.
