On March 4,
the Bulgarians placed most of the Jews in Thrace, which had been
annexed to Bulgaria in 1941, in confinement. According to Bulgarian
statistics, 4,058 Jews were handed to the Germans and sent to
Treblinka, where they were murdered at once. Approximately 200 Jews
survived in Thrace amongst the partisans or hidden by their
Christian neighbors, including 42 young men who were in Bulgarian
labor camps. |
