Summary/Abstract: The Bulgarian people, traditionally tolerant to people with other faiths, express mixed feelings towards the Jewish population in its history. This attitude marks its peak with the Bulgarian anti-Jewish legislation during the 1939-1944 period. This legislation, adopted after the German model, is in harmony with the anti-Semitic government policy of the Bogdan Filov government (1940-1943) in the World War II period.
