Virtually all of Bulgaria's Jewish citizens escaped the horrors of the Polish death camps and survived either to migrate to Israel or to remain in their homeland. Frederick Chary relates the history of the Bulgarian government's policy toward the Jews and how the determination and moral courage of a small country could successfully thwart the Final Solution.Dr. Chary uses the German diplomatic papers captured at the end of the war, published and unpublished Bulgarian sources, archives in Bulgaria and Israel, as well as personal interviews with survivors and former diplomats and officials to reveal intensely dramatic and moving stories-the still mysterious death of King Boris, the intrigues by which Bulgaria stalled deportation, the expulsion of Jews from the new territories, and examples of guilt, appeasement, and courage.

During World War II, most of the European Jews perished by bullets, starvation and in concentration camps. The Jews in Bulgaria avoided that fate, despite Hitler's repeated attempts to impose his "final solution" on the country. Until recently, not enough was known about those events and as the knowledge expanded, so did the arguments about what exactly happened, as it is the case with almost every historical event in the Balkans. Many individuals and groups contributed to the survival of the 50,000 Bulgarian Jews and it is difficult to pinpoint who played the crucial role. Was it King Boris III, the Parliament, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, the Jewish Consistory, the Communist Party or the ordinary people? Unlike Germany, where people generally were indifferent to the fate of the Jews, many Bulgarians, with different social status and political convictions, resisted the looming catastrophe. The book "Holocaust Averted - Bulgarian Jews in World War II" is the result of years of research, based on over one thousand books, articles, memoirs, letters and other archival materials. Reflecting the fact that Bulgaria is little known throughout the world, the book provides a concise introduction to the Bulgarian history, with special emphasis on the long and volatile cohabitation of Bulgarians and Jews, during which they often faced the same challenges. The main chapters of the book analyze the factors that averted the Holocaust in Bulgaria and especially the specific roles played by countries, organizations and individuals in those highly dramatic events. To place the World War II events in Bulgaria in a wider historical context, they are compared with the experiences of other European countries, where things developed differently. The book also covers the controversial issue about the deportation of over 11,000 Jews from the territories occupied by German and Bulgarian troops in Macedonia and Aegean Thrace. The conclusion is that history is complicated, the mechanical application of simplistic moral judgments to the war time in Bulgaria fails to explain the complexity of the behavior of all participants involved in the events. Illustrated with photographs and maps.

For the sizeable Jewish community living in Greece during the 1940s, German occupation of Greece posed a distinct threat. The Nazis and their collaborators murdered around ninety percent of the Jewish population through the course of the war. This new account presents cutting edge research on four elements of the Holocaust in Greece: the level of antisemitism and question of collaboration; the fate of Jewish property before, during, and after their deportation; how the few surviving Jews were treated following their return to Greece, especially in terms of justice and restitution; and the ways in which Jewish communities rebuilt themselves both in Greece and abroad. Taken together, these elements point to who was to blame for the disaster that befell Jewish communities in Greece, and show that the occupation authorities alone could not have carried out these actions to such magnitude without the active participation of Greek Christians.

With the exception of Denmark, Bulgaria was the only country allied with Nazi Germany that did not annihilate or turn over its Jewish population. Here a prominent French intellectual with Bulgarian roots accounts for this singularity. Tzvetan Todorov assembles and interprets for the first time key evidence from this episode of Bulgarian history, including letters, diaries, government reports, and memoirs--most never before translated into any language. Through these documents, he reconstructs what happened in Bulgaria during World War II and interrogates collective memories of that time. He recounts the actions of individuals and groups that, ultimately and collectively, spared Bulgaria's Jews the fate of most European Jews. The Bulgaria that emerges is not a heroic country dramatically different from those countries where Jews did perish. Todorov does find heroes, especially parliament deputy Dimitar Peshev, certain writers and clergy, and--most inspiring--public opinion. Yet he is forced to conclude that the "good" triumphed to the extent that it did because of a tenuous chain of events. Any break in that chain--one intellectual who didn't speak up as forcefully, a different composition in Orthodox Church leadership, a misstep by a particular politician, a less wily king--would have undone all of the other efforts with disastrous results for almost 50,000 people. The meaning Todorov settles on is this: Once evil is introduced into public view, it spreads easily, whereas goodness is temporary, difficult, rare, and fragile. And yet possible.

Pp. 5-15 contain Rozen's memoirs on the deportation of his family from Dorohoi to Transnistria in November 1941 and on his survival in Transnistria in 1941-43. He was the only survivor of his family of five. The rest of the book describes Antonescu's policies toward the Romanian and Ukrainian Jews under his rule. In the area which can be called the "death zone" (which included Bessarabia, Northern Bukovina, Dorohoi, and Transnistria), these policies were genocidal. In the rest of Romania, thousands of Jews were also killed, including 8,000 in the Iaşi pogrom in 1941. In all, 270,000 Romanian and Ukrainian Jews fell victim to Antonescu's regime. Pp. 92-97 contain a chronology of events between December 1937-August 1944. Pp. 98-128 contain statistical data on the Holocaust in the areas under Romanian control during World War II.

Volume 8, The Holocaust: Selected Documents in Eighteen Volumes. By 1944 several million Jews had been deported to the ghettos and extermination camps in the east. Deportation began with the Jews of Stettin and Schneidemuehl in 1940; the last country to lose its Jews was Hungary. This volume concentrates on the deportation of Jews from these areas but includes documentation on the deportation from other cities in Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, Norway, Slovakia, Croatia, Rumania, and-to a much lesser degree-Bulgaria. There is some documentation of the deportation of Jews from the Palatinate to Vichy France. Conditions under which deportations were carried out-herding Jews into cattle cars, identifying Jews through compulsory wearing of the Star of David-all are parts of this symphony of death. Contains 43 documents of source materials, carefully chosen from the thousands preserved at the U.S. National Archives. A detailed table of contents lists and provides the source for each document. The volumes in the series are organized topically: PLANNING AND PREPARATION 1. Legalizing the Holocaust: The Early Phase, 1933-1939 2. Legalizing the Holocaust: The Later Phase, 1939-1943 3. The Crystal Night Pogrom 4. Propaganda and Aryanization, 1938-1944 5. Jewish Emigration from 1933 to the Evian Conference of 1938 6.
