Abstract:
Surveys misleading references to the fate of the Karaites during World War II in Nazi-dominated territories, discussing their fate in Lithuania, Poland, Russia (especially the Crimea), France, and Germany. Deals, also, with their relations with the local Jewish communities. In general, the Karaites were not systematically persecuted, though some were executed. In 1942, the Nazis decided that the Karaites were not Jews, exempting them from the Nuremberg Laws. They declared them as of Turkish-Tatar-Mongol origin, in order to win Tatar support. Jewish historians in Poland who were queried by the Nazis about Karaite origins supported their attempts to dissociate themselves from the Jews.
