The Bulgarian National Assembly paid tribute to the memory of the Holocaust victims with declarations and one minute of silence. International Holocaust Remembrance Day, 27 January, is connected with the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on 27 January, 1945.

“Preserving the memory of the crimes against humanity is the only way not to allow more such crimes to be committed,” Movement for Rights and Freedoms MP Stanislav Anastassov stated. “During the dark years of the Second World War, Bulgaria did not allow a single one of its citizens of Jewish origin to be sent to the death camps,” President Rumen Radev wrote on Twitter.  

International Holocaust Remembrance Day will be marked in Bulgaria with different initiatives.
