Pedigree document of the Carol family of Poland handwritten by the Gaon Rabbi Aharon Carol-Lasker of Lodz. author of Sefer Torat Aharon – 1920s – much original, important information, with a wonderous story about Maran the Besht and one of the forefathers of the family – part of the document was printed in Sefer Torat Aharon (Piotrkow, 1924)

Two sheets of a pedigree document containing the history of the Carol family of Poland. One of them (in black ink) was written by the Gaon Rabbi Aharon Carol-Lasker of Lodz. On one of the pages of the sheet, it was written: "אני הכותב ארקה המעתיק ספר הזה". The second sheet (in blue ink) was written by one of Rabbi Aharon’s nephews (or uncles). One of the pages refers to בן אחי הצדיק מו"ה ארקע ז"ל".

The Gaon Rabbi Aharon Carol-Lasker ben Rabbi Aryeh Yehuda (1857-1919) was an important Talmid Chacham and Chassid in Lodz. Even during World War I, when the fighting took place near Lodz and no one could enter or leave the city and its residents suffered hunger and poverty, Rabbi Aharon did not stop studying the Torah day and night (Ir Lask Vechachameha, p. 77). After his passing, his innovations were published in his book Torat Aharon (Piotrkow, 1924) on Chumash Bershit and Shemot.
