Documenting the unique story that the Bulgarian Jewish community experienced during the Holocaust and its survival in its home ground intact and as part of the Bulgarian people who opposed the extermination, as well as the Jewish activism that was unparalleled in Europe in general and in a fascist Axis country in particular.
