The commemorative event is attended by more than 40 Heads of State and Heads of Government from around the world.
“Bulgaria is here, holding its head up high, because the country did not allow a single Bulgarian Jew to be sent to the death camps and we can only take pride in this feat of the Bulgarian people, which is highly appreciated here,” the Head of State said. The President called for pooling efforts in fighting anti-Semitism, xenophobia and hatred.
