On March 10 Bulgaria marks with various initiatives the 74th anniversary since the rescue of the Bulgarian Jews during WW2. We also commemorate 11,343 victims to Holocaust deported from Thrace, Vardar Macedonia and the town of Pirot to the Nazi death camps. Representatives of state institutions and municipal authorities, politicians, diplomats and citizens laid flowers and wreaths at the Monument of Salvation in Sofia. Our motherland Bulgaria preserved our community back then and today we have the opportunity to tell the entire world how proud we are of this great and humane deed, the President of the Organization of the Jews in Bulgaria (Shalom) Alexander Oscar said.
