Memory register · custodian, not owner
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, housed the largest Jewish community in the country, predominantly Sephardic and Judeo-Spanish-speaking, heir to the Iberian exiles welcomed into the Ottoman Empire. Merchants, craftsmen, and members of urban professions, its members had synagogues — including the great synagogue of Sofia — and communal institutions. During the Second World War, despite antisemitic legislation and deportations carried out from occupied territories, the deportation of Jews from Bulgaria's pre-war borders was prevented, and the community survived. After 1948, nearly all of Bulgarian Jewry emigrated to Israel.
