The world needs to learn what the Bulgarian people did and take example.

I think the Tsar Boris III must not be excluded for the list of saviors.. His orders to stop deportation were the last and his word was the last one in this case. Besides, it was his idea to send Jewish man in the labor camps and the families in the countryside, far from German eyes... And in that labour camps people had parties and phptpgrafed with the guards (sic!), went home in Friday and worked building roads about 2-3 hours a day.... In the 1 of October the camps are to be closed, because it gets cold...Families lived in villages and small towns with Bulgarians to the end of the war and Jewish population in Bulgaria increased in the end of WWII .......
