Focusing on the unique identity of the Karaim minority in Poland and Eastern Europe, this seminar paper explores their distinct cultural and religious attributes. Comprising only 40-50 individuals, the Karaim, also referred to as Qaray, prefer this name over "Karaites," which they associate with a derogatory meaning. The paper delves into their ethnic Turkish roots and highlights the complexities of their Jewish faith. It provides insights into the historical context and contemporary challenges faced by this small yet significant group within the broader landscape of Eastern European minorities.
