Amazon.com

During World War II, hundreds of thousands of Jews were deported from the Balkan states to labor and extermination camps in Germany and Poland. Bulgaria, with a Jewish population of only 50,000, sided with Hitler's government early on, its king having become convinced that only with German aid could he successfully press his territorial claims to land lost to Greece and Romania. Yet, in the face of constant German demands, Bulgaria's government refused to deport the nation's Jewish citizens. Instead, as the Bulgarian-born Israeli politician Michael Bar-Zohar writes in this fine contribution to Holocaust studies, "the Bulgarian Jews became the only Jewish community in the Nazi sphere of influence whose number increased during World War II." Bar-Zohar attributes the Bulgarian government's successful resistance to a general absence of anti- Semitism among the populace: most Bulgarian Jews were of the working class and had long since been culturally assimilated; even many of the ardent fascists in the government opposed their being murdered. To be sure, Bar-Zohar writes, the Jews of Bulgaria were persecuted--yet thanks to the efforts of leaders like the parliamentarian Dimiter Peshev and the cleric Metropolitan Stefan, they were spared the terrible fate of so many other Jews in the region. Bar-Zohar's book recounts an almost unknown episode of World War II history through a well-told, fast-paced narrative. --Gregory McNamee -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

From Booklist

In March 1943 Bulgaria's 48,000 Jews were ordered to pack a few belongings and get ready to be taken away by the police. But the deportation order led to such an outcry from the Bulgarian people, including many intellectuals and church leaders, that the government rescinded the order, and Jews already taken into custody were released. Joining in the opposition were pro-fascist politicians and the royal court. In May_ 1943 a second deportation attempt was made, but the orders were canceled once again. Zohar, who was born in Sofia in 1938 and immigrated to Israel in 1948, spent four years researching this book. He interviewed survivors and gained access to the Central National Archives in Bulgaria, to various ministries' archives, the archives of the Saint Synod, the diplomatic and SS archives in Germany, and others. Although the author's claim that there has been nothing written about the rescue of Bulgarian Jews is inaccurate, this is the first book devoted exclusively to the subject.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The most shocking aspect of this book is that author,probably to make his subject more coherent,skiped the fact that Bulgarian police arested several thousend jews in Macedonia,and send them promptly to Treblinka.How could Jewish author possibly miss this war episode?This is most horiffic aspect of this book,regardless of the fact that it contains (half)truth about events in Bulgaria during the war.This is Revisionism remiscent of recent statement by David Irving that "Auschwitz was Disneyland builded by Poland in order to atract tourists."This book is corect if one think that arest of 7.000 jews by Bulgarians,giving them salty food and packing them into train,is act of heroic rescue!This fact is too well known to be accidentaly neglected,and that is indeed strange aspect of author's presentation of WW II Bulgaria.

Foiling Hitler 24. November 1998
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It is very difficult to read about the horrors of the Holocost. But this is a fascinating and uplifting story that gives one hope about human nature. The King and some brave leaders of the Bulgarian legislature and Christian Church successfully resisted the attempts of Hitler and his deputies to deport and exterminate the Jews of Bulgaria. The deportation of the Jews from Thrace and Macedonia is chillingly described and is a vivid reminder of what happened to most of the Jews in Europe because no one had the courage to question or resist the actions of the state. The fact that the common citizens and leaders of Bulgaria refused to buy into the antisemitic rhetoric and legislation of the Nazi's will accrue to their credit because of the true story recounted in this well researched and well documented book.

Maybe Goldhagen is right 30. Dezember 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A must read. The author has obviously done his homework. This translates into a richly detailed account of the events surrounding the persecution of Bulgarian Jews in WWII, as well as insight into the motivations of the key players of the whole affair, including Tsar Boris, Peshev, and Metropolitan Stefan. Unfortunately, the book is poorly edited, with simple grammar and organizational mistakes throughout. The translations of the quoted passages, those originally in Bulgarian, at least, sometimes leave much to be desired. This is not to take away from the author's most compelling argument, that the non-Jewish Bulgarians' lack of anti-Semitism and sense of moral decency are what saved their fellow Jewish citizens from being carted off to Treblinka. This lends historical credence to Goldhagen's assertion that the German people's indifference and anti-Semitism aided Hitler's crazed dream of "racial purification".
