Haskalah

Karaites created a narrative of superiority over Jews, claiming they weren't Jewish. During the Holocaust, they sought non-Jewish certificates from the Nazi regime. Many Karaites in Europe collaborated with the Nazis, informed on Jews, and even joined the Nazi military, marking their separation from the Jewish people.

The horrific riots that claimed numerous Jewish lives challenged Enlightenment-era theories. However, for some, these events ignited a return to faith. Among them was Dr. Joseph Salvador, once a staunch proponent of the Haskalah movement.
