The articles deals with the medieval sources on the history of the Karaites who appeared in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the reign of duke Vitold (Vytautas). Many of them were already analyzed by researchers, whoever some questions still remained unanswered or presented not always in fully critical way. The research questions deal with the original privilege issued by Lithuanian monarchs to the Karaites, allegedly participation of the Karaites at the battle of Tannenberg or travel description left by Burgundian knight Gilbert de Lannoy. It seems that the first written document, shaping he legal position of the Karaites in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was issued by duke Casimir Jagellonides in 1441. The charter of grand duke Vitold, drawn in 1388, was certainly forged sometime in the 15th century. The Bavarian Latin chronicle informing that a Jewish (in fact, Karaite?) military unit supported Polish-Lithuanian army at the battle of Tannenberg in 1410, transmitted only political propaganda, and did not reflect a real fact. Famous Burgundian traveler, who visited Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the beginning of the15th century, met Karaites in Troki.

Motywowana przez ideologię niemieckiego faszyzmu polityka eksterminacji ludności żydowskiej tworzyła stałe zagrożenie dla Karaimów mieszkających w różnych państwach europejskich, które stopniowo były podbijane przez Niemcy. Podejmowane oficjalnie od 1938 r. starania przedstawicieli Karaimów, by władze niemieckie uznały ich za ludność nie-żydowską, zakończyły się częściowym sukcesem. Po podboju Francji, Litwy i Krymu ludność karaimska zetknęła się z pewnymi formami represji, ale ostatecznie uniknęła losu europejskich Żydów. Było to możliwe tylko dzięki wysiłkom różnych osób, w tym hachana Seraji Szapszała.

The policy of the German authorities, to, in accordance with Nazi ideology, annihilate the Jewish population constantly placed the Karaites, who at that time inhabited various European countries that were gradually being conquered by German armies, in constant danger. Official attempts made in 1938 by the representatives of Karaite community to convince the German authorities to treat them as a non-Jewish population, resulted in only partial success. After the conquest of France, Lithuania and Crimea the Karaite community was persecuted in various ways. However, it succeeded in surviving the war, in contrast to the fate of most of European Jewry. This was only possible thanks to the efforts of numerous people, including hachan Seraya Shapshal.

However the new reality that emerged following the introduction of a new law in the Republic of Poland in 1936 offered them a chance to change some aspects of official Karaite iconography.
