Name of Museum King Boris III of Bulgaria Insert Artifact Picture Here Back to Room 1 In the beginning of the war Bulgaria was in a neutral state. During WWII Hitler wanted Bulgaria to join the Axis but King Boris did not want to join. Not until the year 1940 when he joined to gain back Thrace. In December of that same year he signed an agreement to restrict the Jews. For instance implement more taxes and quotas for Jewish professions. In the year of 1943 King Boris resisted the deportation of 50,000 Jews from Bulgaria.

Name of Museum This was a “labor camp” which in actuality was an extermination camp where thousands of Jews entered to their death immediately after arrival. All that were killed were either gassed or shot. This camp in its existence had over 1,000,000 inmates. Thanks to King Boris around 8,000 of Bulgaria’s Jewish people were saved from this horrible “labor camp”. Treblinka Camp Insert Artifact Picture Here Back to Room 1

Name of Museum Ghettos were places in which much of the Jewish European population lived in very harsh and crowded conditions for many years. Most ghettos were located in big cites which were often enclosed and excluded from the “outside world”. Thanks to King Boris thousands of Jews lived without ever setting a foot into a ghetto.

Name of Museum Gas chambers were rooms in which millions of Jews where put to their death thinking that they were going to take a shower. Zyclon-B was the gas used in most gas chambers. This was known because of the permanent blue stain left on the walls. It was initially used as a poison to exterminate bugs and rodents, then used to exterminate humans in a mass murder.

Name of Museum Deportation Insert Artifact Picture Here Back to Room 2 Deportation was the act of sending Jews that lived in ghettos or their homes to concentration camps when a “Final Solution” came into place. They where then sent to concentration camps by boat or train. These boats or trains where filled with hundreds of Jews or others that didn’t agree with the perfect Aryan race, at a time making it difficult to move.

Name of Museum Holocaust Insert Artifact Picture Here Back to Room 2 The holocaust was a state- sponsored mass murder of about six million Jews. Holocaust was a Greek word meaning “sacrifice by fire”. Gypsies, homosexuals, immigrants, and people who did not support Hitler’s goals/ dreams of a Aryan race were also murdered.
