The report discusses the books and collections sent to Schloss Niemes, the warehouses at Offenbach, Jewish collections in public libraries and those privately held, and other compilations that survived the war. At the end of the report are six appendices, in German and English, containing letters and reports that were used by Scholem on his mission.
