President: Strong Civil Society Rescued Bulgaria's Jews

He's right. Boris never cared about rescuing the Jews.

He's wrong. The Bulgarians who saved the Jews are almost all dead, and the present society is a very different one.

"He's right. Boris never cared about rescuing the Jews."

Are yoy referring to Tsar Boris III, or some figment of your imagination, Sofianits?

You better ask the Israelis who did what for them rather a new minted politician raised on diet of communists propaganda and lies, who refused to acknowledge the fact of the salvation of the Bulgarian Jews for 45 years motivated by their ideological their agenda, which included distortion and the eradication of the past...

This soothed fine the Westerners who sold Eastern Europe to the USSR, who failed to see through Hitler and his murderous intentions on time, to protect their Jews from the horror, the BIG BOYS going along with the twin brother of Hitler--Uncle Joe...

P.S. Sorry for messing up the post with spelling, etc, mistakes...No excuses, just asking you to pay attention and get the right meaning...
Thanks.

"Although an ally of Nazi Germany during the Second World war, Bulgaria failed to deport its jews to the death camps."

Bulgaria FAILED to deport blah, blah, blah????

Wonder if the idiot who wrote that did it on purpose or simply from ignorance...Phew...

Anyway, there was no room for FAILURE in following SS orders. But there was courage in taking a risk of price to be paid later...

In fact, Boris III was one of Hitler's most trusted supporters, allies and confidants. Hitler loved him.
In fact, Joseph Goebbels, German Reich Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945, who trusted almost nobody, trusted Boris and considered his loyalty to Nazism unquestionable. Read his personal diaries.

"In fact, Boris III was one of Hitler's most trusted supporters, allies and confidants. Hitler loved him."

@ Sofianits,

In fact? Says who?

A very strange love for a confidant who refuses to follow his (Hitler's) orders (not just regarding the Jews but sending troops to the Eastern Front) and ends up dead...But not so strange the reluctance to acknowledge the pivoting role of Boris III,as well as Bishop Stefan's, by the still obsessed with the old communist's slogans old guard of "down with the Monarchy, down with the Church"(as though it matters now a days...)

In your zest to take away the credit from those two, another strange fact: how come that all the democratically elected members of the Parliament were summarily executed at the on set of the Communists regime following the dead sentences issued by the People's Tribunal? This tells you how much the communists cared then and now for who saved who and how little they care about truth....

P.S.
Joseph Goebbels, German Reich Minister of Propaganda, 1933-1945,diaries are not exactly the fountain of truth...The man had an agenda, loyalties and very strange sense of right and wrong (wasn't he the guy who killed his kids, wife, and himself in the bunker?)

His diaries would be of great use in examining the mindset of a psychopath, not look for rational evaluations and reporting of facts...

That is amazing. There were no democratically elected members of Parliament. Parliament had no power. Bulgaria was an absolute monarchy, totally controlled by Boris III from 1936. Boris was Dictator of Bulgaria.

Sofianits,

What is your point? Are you trying to justify the killings of thousands of innocent People ordered by the so-called Peoples Tribunals? Boris III was dead by then and dragging him into this conversation is completely immaterial.

Here is a very brief account of the events of the thirties. Tsar Boris III was not an absolute monarch and Bulgaria was a constitutional Monarchy. As you see from this excerpt there were elections in 1936. Boris died in August 1943 and the regency was established.

"However in the early 1930s Bulgaria suffered severely from the depression. Peasant incomes fell by half and in the towns unemployment rocketed. Then in May 1934 a group of officers carried out a coup.

However the new government were split over what to do with the king. Their leader Colonel Damian Velchev was a republican but in January 1935 his opponents managed to force to him out of office. In 1936 Boris dissolved the Military League and promised to return to constitutional government. Elections were held in 1938."

BTW, Whose sock-puppet are you?

correction: it is clear from the provided text that the elections were held in 1938, not in 1936.... Sorry for the typo
