Abstract:
Asserts that the fact that Bulgaria remained a sovereign state, not occupied by the Nazis, allowed it to protect its citizens. Until the end of the war no Jew was deported from Bulgaria. This was not the case regarding the Jews in the territories annexed by Bulgaria in April 1941 from Yugoslavia (parts of Serbia and Macedonia) and from Greece (parts of Macedonia and Thrace). In these areas, the Jews could not get Bulgarian citizenship and the anti-Jewish measures were very harsh. Discusses antisemitic legislation introduced by Alexandar Belev, chief of the Commissariat for the "Jewish question." Belev adopted the Nazi position concerning Jews and tried, unsuccessfully, to introduce the same policy regarding Bulgarian Jews. But in March 1943 all the Jews from the annexed territories were deported to concentration camps, mainly to Treblinka.
