With a March of Tolerance the Jewish community in Bulgaria marks the 81st anniversary of the rescue of Bulgarian Jews and commemorates the 11,343 Jews from Aegean Thrace, Vardar Macedonia and Pirot who died in Nazi death camps during the Holocaust. 

"We cannot accept by definition that the Bulgarian people are tolerant. This gives people with extreme views the opportunity to intoxicate an increasingly larger part of Bulgarian society", Professor Alexander Oscar, President of the Organization of the Jews in Bulgaria "Shalom", said for BNR. According to him, on this day, following the example of our predecessors, we should reflect on our responsibility not to allow our society to be infected with the language of hatred and to prevent it from dominating around us.
