How was Bulgaria involved in World War 2?

Answer 1

No Bulgarian Jews died in the Nazi death camps. This is something we must not forget at this time as we recall the millions who perished in Europe during the Holocaust,Bulgaria's wartime government refused to hand over its 50,000 Jewish citizens to the Nazis in 1943 despite its military alliance with Germany. Czar Boris initially tried to comply with German demands, earmarking some 8,500 Jews from Sofia and other Bulgarian cities for deportation. But 43 members of parliament drafted a petition and managed to avert the action at the last moment. ``My father and his relatives from Dupnitsa (south of Sofia) were to have been in that initial group to be deported,'' said Frances, who was a small child at the time. In a letter sent to Berlin, the then German ambassador to Sofia said, ``The Bulgarians live with Armenians, Greeks and Gypsies and do not find any disadvantages which could justify special measures being taken against them (the Jews). Further half-hearted attempts at deportation failed as Bulgarians, Jews and non-Jews alike, staged angry demonstrations, often with the backing of Bulgaria's underground Communist Party.Some Bulgarian Jews died of course in the anti-fascist resistance, but none perished in camps solely on account of their race.

Answer 2

It was with the Axis and invaded the Kingdom of Yugoslavia

Hitler promised them parts of Macedonia (up to the City of Ohrid, the other third it was promised to Albania), Serbia and Greece

the Macedonians/Yugoslavians managed to liberate Vardar MAcedonia(Republic of Macedonia) but not Pirin Macedonia

MACEDONIA: was occupied by Bulgaria in 1941. The Bulgarian anti-Jewish laws were applied to the 15,500 Jews in the area shortly after. In 1941, the Germans made an agreement with the Bulgarian government to deport the Macedonian Jews to concentration camps. Only 200 survived the war

The 48,398 Jews in Bulgaria were saved from deportations to Poland in 1941. The Bulgarian parliament voted against the order, and no Bulgarian Jews were deported to the gas chambers. But later they were assimilated and most of its Turkish popultion was deported to Turkey or assimilated in the Soviet era.

Within three days the Soviets occupied the northeastern part of Bulgaria along with the key port cities of Varna and Burgas. The Bulgarian Army was ordered to offer no resistance.
