Anti-Jewish proclamations were distributed yesterday in the streets of Sofia.
The proclamations begin by referring to the reception given by the Sofia Jews to the Zionist leader, Mr. Nahum Sokolov during his visit to Bulgaria.
“The Bulgarian Jews,” the proclamations declare. “gave him royal honours. He was met by huge crowds of Jews bearing banners with inscriptions ‘Palestine above all’. They are fleecing us Bulgarians of our money in order to send it out of the country to Palestine. They even tax themselves for Palestine. Bulgarians! boycott these parasites. Don’t assist them to amass their funds to send out of the country. Buy only from Bulgarians. Those who buy from the Jews are committing a crime against the fatherland and the Bulgarian people.”
