This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the First IFIP TC 5 International Conference on Computer Science Protecting Human Society Against Epidemics, ANTICOVID 2021, held virtually in June 2021. The 7 full and 4 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The papers are concerned with a very large spectrum of problems, ranging from linguistics for automatic translation of medical terms, to a proposition for a worldwide system of fast reaction to emerging pandemic.
Drawing on the variety of archival sources in the host of European and Oriental languages, the book focuses on the history, ethnography, and convoluted ethnic identity of the Polish-Lithuanian Karaites. The vanishing community of the Karaites, a non-Talmudic Turkic-speaking Jewish minority that had been living in Eastern Europe since the late Middle Ages, developed a unique ethnographic culture and religious tradition. The book offers the first comprehensive study of the dramatic history of the Polish-Lithuanian Karaite community in the twentieth century. Especially important is the analysis of the dejudaization (or Turkicization) of the community that saved the Karaites from horrors of the Holocaust.
