Drawing on the variety of archival sources in the host of European
and Oriental languages, the book focuses on the history,
ethnography, and convoluted ethnic identity of the
Polish-Lithuanian Karaites. The vanishing community of the
Karaites, a non-Talmudic Turkic-speaking Jewish minority that had
been living in Eastern Europe since the late Middle Ages, developed
a unique ethnographic culture and religious tradition. The book
offers the first comprehensive study of the dramatic history of the
Polish-Lithuanian Karaite community in the twentieth century.
Especially important is the analysis of the dejudaization (or
Turkicization) of the community that saved the Karaites from
horrors of the Holocaust.
