The population of Bulgaria is still not convinced of the correctness of the Nazi anti-Semitic philosophy despite intensive propaganda by their own government and by imported German agitators, it is indicated in an article appearing in the Sofia daily, Vecher, received here today. The paper complains that “one can still come across people who are sympathetic to the Jews and believe that Jews can be faithful citizens of the country in which they live.”
Despite the anti-Jewish regulations in Bulgaria and the deportation of thousands of Jews, the number of Jews who become converted to Christianity is decreasing, according to a report appearing in the Plovdiv newspaper, Volya. The report quotes an announcement by the chancery of the diocese of Plovdiv which states that in the past year not a single Jew in the region either expressed a desire to become baptized or was baptized.
