Talk:History of the Jews in Bulgaria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] World war II
The article presents forgets a couple of things about the Jews in Bulgaria:
- ghettos, anti-semitic legislation, forced labour camps, expulsion of Jews who were also citizens of other countries, resettling of Jews from the cities, etc.
- thousands of Jews from the territories occupied by Bulgaria (Macedonia and Thrace) were sent to the Nazi concentration camps in Poland (www.deathcamps.org/Reinhard/macedonia%20thrace%20transports.html)

- Did you mean the article omits something? Perhaps you should provide some more sources, this one seams to be overzealous ("Always maintaining its sovereignty and forever opportunistic, Bulgaria had entered the conflict solely for reasons of territorial aggrandisement": woah, this is such a ridiculously naïve statement). Also, it really is debatable if the Jews in the areas that Bulgaria administered during WWII can be considered part of the "history of the Jews in Bulgaria". Plus, it should be noted we're talking not that Macedonia and that Thrace.
- And don't forget our government often received direct orders from Nazi Germany and was in most cases not directly responsible for any decisions of that type. In that situation, what we managed to do was a real deed of heroism and valour. Todor→Bozhinov 20:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I would like to read more about ordinary citizens who intervened -- for example, I think I read that farmers blocked transport trains.Jrm2007 18:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
