Bulgaria was complicit in the dispossession, torture and murder of thousands of Jews--yet, the Bulgarian government continues to whitewash this fact. While it is known that the Bulgarian government elected not to deport some 50,000 Jews from 'Old' Bulgaria to German death camps in Poland--what is not known is that Bulgaria was directly complicit in the murder of some 13,000 Jews from 'New' Bulgaria (their WWII lands of Thrace and Macedonia). Tediously researched and assembled by Shelomo Alfassa from a multitude of sources, Shameful Behavior: Bulgaria and the Holocaust demonstrates what Bulgaria doesn't like to discuss--how they were responsible for the deaths of Jews during World War II.

Alfassa exposes how "the Bulgarian government hid its full role in the
Holocaust in part to gain entry into the European Union in 2007."
--The Times of Israel

"Bulgaria helped kill 13,000 Jews, then, they elected not to kill 50,000 other Jews--by not sending a
loaded train to Treblinka. Yet today, Bulgaria conveniently forget the 13,000 Jews--as their propaganda
machine continues to work, frequently mentioning that they were the most humanitarian country
during the Holocaust because they "saved 50,000" Jews. It's pure and utter shameful behavior."
