Bulgaria, which has been following a progressively severe anti-Semitic policy, was forced this week to exempt certain Jews from the rigid anti-Jewish decrees, it was reported today by the Berlin correspondent of the Svenska Dagbladet.
Faced with unsettled economic conditions as a result of the purge of Jews, the government has announced a list of Jews – mainly persons engaged in supplying goods to the state and wholesalers in various commodities – who are exempt from the anti-Jewish restrictions. Jewish doctors have also been granted the same privileges. At the same time that it ordered these exemptions the government announced more restrictive regulations for the general Jewish population.
