1. Full Date of Act	1942
2. Name of Act (or Short Description)	Law issued by Bulgarian government
3. Geography of Act	Germany / Occupied
4. Text of Act	Commentary from other sources: 1) “In August 1942, the Bulgarian government established a Commissariat for Jewish Affairs with the objective of expelling the Jews of Bulgaria and confiscating their property. The ultimate aim of the commissariat, however, was not only for the Jews to finance the cost of implementing the Law for the Protection of the Nation but also to prepare them for shouldering the cost of deportation to the death camps in Poland.” “Bulgaria and the Holocaust.” holocaust.en-academic.com 2) “August 25, 1942…The establishment of a Commissariat for Jewish Affairs in Belgium along the same lines as in France and Rumania is demanded by the anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi Rexist Party in Brussels, Nazi-controlled Belgian newspapers reaching here today report. ‘Such an apparatus to deal with the Jews in Belgium is needed, because the Jews are endeavoring by all means to evade the existing anti-Jewish regulations and their activities, therefore, must be put under more stringent control,’ one of the Rexist papers writes. Other Belgian papers predict that the Nazi occupational authorities will soon announce measures in Belgium ordering the Jews to “productive work” which is interpreted here to mean that they will be sent to forced labor either in Belgian mines or in eastern territories occupied by the German army.” “Rexists Demand Establishment of Commissariat for Jewish Affairs in Belgium.” jta.org

2. Name of Act (or Short Description)	Order by Bulgarian government on deportation of Jews
3. Geography of Act	Bulgaria
4. Text of Act	Commentary from other sources: 1) “In March 1943, Bulgarian authorities deported all of the Jews from the territories Bulgaria had annexed in Macedonia (formerly part of Yugoslavia) and Thrace (formerly part of Greece). When the Germans pressured Bulgaria to deport its own Jews, the king initially agreed. He canceled the order [of expelling Bulgarian Jews] only after receiving protests from thousands of ordinary citizens as well as leaders in the Bulgarian parliament and the Eastern Orthodox Church.” Phyllis Goldstein: “A Convenient Hatred: The History of Antisemitism.” p. 279 2) “In January 1943 Adolf Beckerle, the German minister to Sofia [Bulgaria], was joined by SS-Obergruppenfuehrer Theodor Dannecker, an associate of [Adolf] Eichmann, who came to Bulgaria in order to arrange for the deportation of Bulgarian Jews to the eastern territories…On Feb. 2, 1943, [Minister of Interior] Gabrovski and Dannecker agreed that all Jews living in Greek and Yugoslav Macedonia and in Thrace, administered by Bulgaria since the spring of 1941, would also be surrendered to the Germans for deportation. On Feb. 22, Belev [Head of Commissariat for Jewish Affairs] and Dannecker signed a formal agreement to deport 20,000 Jews. As the total number of Jews living in Bulgarian-held Thrace and Macedonia was only slightly over 10,000, Dannecker informed Eichmann that Jews from Bulgaria proper, mainly from the capital and other large towns, would also be deported. On March 2 [1943], the government approved the surrender of 20,000 Jews into German hands, but the fiction that only Jews from Macedonia and Thrace were to be deported continued to be maintained. The collection of Macedonian and Thracian Jews into special transit camps began immediately. Preparations were also begun for the concentration of those Jews from Bulgaria proper who were to make up the agreed figure of 20,000.” “The Virtual Jewish History Tour Bulgaria; The Deportations Program.” jewishvirtuallibrary.org

4. Text of Act	Commentary from other sources: 1) “In the spring of 1944, as the Red Army drew closer to Slovakia’s eastern border, partisan operations increased. Succumbing to pressure from high-ranking officers in the Wehrmacht, the authorities in Bratislava ordered the Jews in eastern Slovakia to evacuate and to move toward the western part of the country by May 15. The decree, for a limited period of time, did not apply to, on the one hand, physicians and pharmacists – because of the shortage of these service-deliverers – and, on the other, mixed marriages. Even among the Jews who were ordered to evacuate, there were those who decided not to obey the evacuation order, because they realized that the further they would be from eastern Slovakia, the further they would be from the much-longed-for day of liberation. They utilized their good relations with their gentile neighbors to hide in their neighbors’ homes or in nearby forests. Their assumption was proven correct: Eastern Slovakia was liberated a few months earlier than western Slovakia.” Fatran, Gila: “Slovakia’s Righteous among the Nations.” yadvashem.org

On March 3, 1950, to halt the uncontrolled flight of assets and people, Iraqi Prime Minister Tawfig as-Suwaydi engineered the passage of an amendment to Law 1, the Denaturalization Act. The amendment authorized revocation of citizenship to any Jew who willingly left the country. The new measure mimicked similar legislation in Nazi Germany. Upon exit, Jewish assets were frozen but were still available to the emigrants for use within Iraq. Once Jews registered to emigrate, the decision was permanent, and they were required to leave within 15 days. The window would not be wide.
