This article presents the content of two handwritten documents. The first dates from 1813 and concerns the power of attorney granted by the Troki community to Joachim Łabanos, the son of the last voyt (shofet) of the Troki Karaim so that the latter may represent the community before the courts and the authorities. It may be regarded as an attempt to restore to a certain extent the position of the voyt who after the partition of Poland had been deprived of those prerogatives granted to him by the Grand Dukes of Lithuania and the Kings of Poland. However, three years later the power of attorney was revoked and the blank pages of this document were reused to draw up a lawsuit filed by Łabanos against Judith and Joseph Firkowicz, Abraham Kobiecki and Joseph Kobiecki. Łabanos demanded compensation for expenditure he had incurred on preparations for his son Elias’ aborted marriage to Abraham Kobiecki’s daughter, Judith who instead of marrying the young Łabanos had run away with Joseph Firkowicz. These documents shed some light on the position of the Łabanos family after it lost its leading role in the Troki Karaim community.

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.
