Deportation and murder of Macedonian Jews by Bulgarian Nazis in Bulgarian-occupied Macedonia

Posted on December 10, 2009


Bulgaria was not really a Nazi country but was merely following Hitler's orders when it deported the Macedonian Jews to their imminent deaths. Even if there was any truth to the above Bulgarian plea, it has been accepted by international scholarship on this topic that the argument of "we were just following orders" does not wash. Such was the basis of the judgments against the Nazis who were tried at Nuremberg, and such should be the case with the Bulgarian Nazis who literally got away ...

  1. Macedonia United. Solun is Ours. Tose Forever.

  2. yea israel dont know for the holocost.

    stop to read the stroies of sheherezada.

    AND THE SERBIAN TEROR – MAIN VALUE IN YOGOSLAVIA IS NOT EUROPEAN VALU.

  3. 50 000 jews said thank you.
    our ships evacuated jews from ather european countrys to israel too.

    WHERE ARE THE SERBIAN JEWS.

  4. My point was that you cannot demand apology and compensation for something that Bulgaria has already apologized and compensated for. Now how much we have payed of what we agreed to pay according to the peace treaties after WW2 and how much we haven’t I don’t know, but that is an entirely different matter.

  5. One difficulty with many Bulgarians is that they don’t know the intricacies of the former Yugoslavia and the relations between its constituent republics. Many of the values that once underscored the Yugoslav federation are now the underlying principles of the EU to which Bulgaria is a member. Need I remind you of the term “whore of Babylon” which Bulgarians once used as a euphemism for Europe?

  6. I have not disputed the pre-1990s constitutional link between Macedonia and Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia had constitutional links with Croatia and Slovenia before the Balkan wars of the 1990s. Your point does not prove anything valid. Macedonia’s former membership of the Yugoslav federation does not undermine the legitimacy of the existence of the Macedonian nation, if that is your point.

  7. And if you look at my numerous post on your videos you will find that I have NEVER until now written FYROM anywhere. I did it this time only because you were stubbornly refusing to note the purely legal connection between Yugoslavia an Macedonia before the 1990’s.

  8. Bulgaria maybe didn’t pay all of the reparations because of the split, but reparations were payed. I know for a fact that a large part of the Bulgarian Army’s airplanes were handed over to Yugoslavia immediately after the war, material and financial help was provided, even Yugoslavian orphans were sent on lengthly excursion through Bulgaria so that we take care of them, and spare some expenses for the still rebuilding Yufoslavia.

  9. Another point – no FYROMing here, or you will be blocked. My channel, my rules.

  10. Really Bulgaria did not pay the reparations to the former Yugoslavia. Bulgaria managed to renege on the reparations as a result of the split between Tito and the Cominform in 1948.

    As far as I know Bulgaria has not apologised to Yugoslavia or Macedonia for Bulgarian war crimes and Holocaust participation. If Bulgaria did indeed apologise then nobody appears to have heard it the first time around.

  11. I’m not making any excuses @BulgariaWWII, I’m just ridiculing your belief that maybe you know more that the Jews about Holocaust. And since you choose not to remember something that I have already written I’m going to remind it – Bulgaria has already paid huge compensations to Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia part of which was FYROM (you know what FYROM means, right). Yugoslavia represented ALL of its constituting republics.

  12. Bozhidar Dimitrov is officially the Minister without portfolio because the Bulgarian Government does not want to publicly admit to the real purpose behind Dimitrov’s ministerial appointment.

    If Dimitrov were to receive a legitimate portfolio he would really have to do the work instead of indulge in theatrics. In Europe there is no politically right name for the portfolio “Minister of Propaganda.” At least not since Goebbels was out of a job when his country capitulated to the Allies.

  13. It is right that other countries (eg, Italy which saved many of its Jews) would probably have invaded Macedonia during WWII if Bulgaria had not. In such a case the Macedonian casualties may have been lesser in numbers and the Macedonian Jews may not have been deported to the death camps after all.

    Bulgaria owes an apology, compensation and restitution to all victims from Macedonia, whether they be Christian or Jewish. That is not negotiable.

  14. Now you are just making excuses, none of which absolve Bulgaria of any liability for Bulgarian crimes against humanity in Macedonia, including the Holocaust.

    Bulgaria illegally invaded Macedonia. Bulgarians committed crimes against humanity in Macedonia during the illegal Bulgarian occupation.

    Bulgaria did not have to invade Macedonia. Bulgaria chose to invade Macedonia. In order to hold onto Macedonia, Bulgaria deported over 7000 Macedonian Jews to the Nazi death camps.

  15. Just for your information Bojidar Dimitrov is in charge, amongst other things, of the “Agency for Bulgarians abroad” which is hardly a public relations job . Second – people who regularly call us Tatars and call the Greeks Africans (things which neither of us are) trying to describe us as racists… I’m sure you see the problem here.

  16. Ohohoho, you are a factory for jokes @BulgariaWWII, maybe Israel doesn’t know the full tale, maybe they weren’t the ones who did the most detailed studies on the Holocaust, maybe indeed you should tell them. There goes that well-known Bulgarian sarcasm Wiligot was talking about. :)

  17. Maybe you should learn the whole tale, that if Bulgaria didnt joined the Axis – would be occupied as every other european country and its jews would be repatrated. On the other hand Thrace and Macedonia was under rule even with bulgarian soldiers there. Speaking of “genocide by bulgarians” make you amusing. Your despise make you blind for the facts.

  18. ????? ?? ?????, ???? ???????? ?? ???…
    May they rest in peace…

  19. Maybe Israel does not know the full tale. If that is the case we have an obligation to educate the wider community about Bulgaria’s role in the Holocaust.

    Bulgaria deported and murdered over 7000 Macedonian Jews. There is no disputing that.

  20. Eshua Almalech expressed his opinion in the article “Boris III did not rescue the Jews: Bulgaria Should Apologise for our Suffering.”

    You can find links to both articles on my channel profile.

  21. Two prominent Bulgarian Jews who were alive at the time of the Holocaust disagree with you.

    Angel Wagenstein expressed his opinion in an article he wrote called “Did Bulgaria save all the Jews?” Wagenstein is also the bearer of the highest Bulgarian distinction the Stara Planina Order. In 2009 he was made honorary citizen of the city of Plovdiv. I believe Wagenstein is a more credible authority on Bulgaria’s role in the Holocaust than a random Bulgarian redneck.

  22. Typical Bulgarian……..when lacking arguments starts with insults and the well-known bulgarian sarcasm which includes blatant denial of the most simple and obvious truth.

    FYI, the tiny Macedonian Jewish community does not agree with the BG “historiography” which changes every few decades, and thinks of the BG army in WW2 as ocupators and Nazis, who took their beloved ones in death camps!! Question them!

  23. Watch this:
    /watch?v=nMpyu9n3F2A
    /watch?v=wJjcf_Cxwu4
    /watch?v=-erlqy5PXxE

    Stop the propaganda, Bulgaria was part of the Axis, but has nothing in connect to the Holocaust.

  24. THE WORLD KNOW BETTER WHAT THE SERBS DO WITTH MINORITES.

    And said – HAGA

    The numbers of the ALLIENS in MACEDONIA was more then the numbers of the partizans.

    UNAK E GOCE DELCHEV
    SURBOMANITE ENICHARI

  25. ISRAEL KNOWS BETTER what the bulgarians did to the jews in the WWII.
    And they said THANK YOU BULGARIA
