This mass exodus was remarkable considering that Bulgaria was the only Axis power to prevent the deportation of its Jews to the death camps during World War II. After their arrival in Israel, the Jews of Bulgaria were recognized as a model immigrant group in a fledgling state attempting to absorb hundreds of thousands of newcomers from more than eighty countries. They became known for their independence, self-reliance, honesty, and hard work. From Sofia to Jaffa chronicles the fascinating saga of a population relocated, a story that has not been told until now. Beginning with a study of the community in Bulgaria and the factors that motivated them to leave their homeland, this book documents the journey of the Bulgarian Jews to Israel and their adaptation to life there. 606 $aJews, Bulgarian$zIsrael 606 $aFolklore$zBulgaria 606 $aJews$zBulgaria$xFolklore 606 $aJews$zBulgaria$xHistory 607 $aIsrael$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aIsrael$xEthnic relations 607 $aBulgaria$xEthnic relations 607 $aBulgaria$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews, Bulgarian 615 0$aFolklore 615 0$aJews$xFolklore. 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 676 $a304.8/569404977/089924 700 $aHaskell$b Guy H.$f1956-$01146094 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524665503321 996 $aFrom Sofia to Jaffa$92686721 997 $aUNINA
