The Jeff Malka Sephardic Collection
Jewish Resistance in World War
II Bulgaria:
An Introduction and Reference Materials
By Michael L. Hoffman
Background
Michael L. Hoffman, Ph.D., currently residing in Sofia, Bulgaria
has graciously made his article about the Jewish Bulgarian Partisans
available to all. In addition to being of general historical interest,
it is also of genealogical interest as it includes a list of 272 Jewish
Bulgarian Partisans. There is also a large bibliography on the Bulgarian
resistance with both English and annotated Bulgarian sources.
The entire article can be downloaded by clicking
