Description
Refugees arrived in Egypt from Toldeo in 1459, with ideas of their own.
But as the centuries progressed, the Karaites spread out from the Middle East. Crimea became the headquarters of the movement.
However Abraham Firkowitz had his own ideas about history, in which facts did not necessarily feature. Although St. Petersburg owes him a continuing debt of gratitude.
