Epizod z życia Seraja Szapszała

After the Second World War Seraja Szapszała had intended to migrate to Poland but was prevented from doing so by the Soviet authorities and he continued to live in Soviet Lithuania instead. He worked for the Institute of History and Law in the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. He was also involved in preserving the Karaite past in Lithuanian lands. His efforts included opening an ethnographic museum in Trakai before WWII. Szapszał composed a letter to Stalin in which he hoped to protect his own life as well as Karaite ethnographic collections.
