The responsibilities of Bulgaria for the Holocaust
Historian Anthony Georgieff steps in the debate raised by the conference "Facing our past" to tackle a grey area of history that Sofia needs to face: its own role in the fate of the Jews from Thrace and Macedonia.

Shoah
the genocide of Jews
In the framework of second world war (1939-1945) Europe witnessed the genocide of the Jewish people (1941-1945). The “final solution“, the extermination of six million Jews, was planned by Hitler who had come on power in Germany in 1933. Since the publication of Mein Kampf, Hitler had planned the nationalsocialist revolution based on a racist ideology.
In the memory of the Jewish people and in the verdict that closed the works of the International Military Court, 6,000,000 victims of the extermination are estimated. As a matter of facts, the most reliable scholars including Raul Hilberg estimate about 5,200,000 victims.
