Later, as a graduate of Vienna's Theresianum and an Austrian official, he underwent partial Germanization and did not particularly cultivate Polish national traditions in his family home.

[1] Eugeniusz Romer graduated from a high school in Nowy Sącz and studied history, geology, geography and meteorology at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, also attending courses in Lwów and Halle (Saale).

He was a member of the Polish delegation at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919, helping to draw the western border of Poland.

In 1921-24 he led to a merger of two publishing companies Książnica and Atlas into Ksiaznica-Atlas,[5] which was moved to Wrocław after World War II.

In 1941, when Lwów was captured by the Germans, he hid in a monastery at Piekarska Street, and this decision probably saved his life.

Soon after, the Home Army decided to move him to Warsaw, from where he was to be transferred to England to work as an advisor of the Polish government-in-exile.
