The Bulgarian Cabinet’s new anti-Jewish bill has been received with cool indifference by the population, The Times reported today from Sofia. The Jewish problem is practically non-existent in Bulgaria, the dispatch said. The Jews number only about 50,000 , or 0.6 percent of the population.
There are at present no Jews in the army, civil service or in the villages. The law is believed to have been introduced as a result of German pressure and an unpopular reception is foreseen for it by well-informed Bulgarians when the bill is submitted to Parliament at the end of October.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
