"Hitler failed to break the decision of Tsar Boris III not to allow the deportation of a single Bulgarian national from this country. The Bulgarian people and state withstood a test of great historical value by not allowing a single Bulgarian Jew to perish in the death camps or to be killed in Bulgaria", President Rumen Radev said at the opening of a documentary exhibition at the St. St. Cyril and Methodius National Library, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the rescue of Bulgarian Jews. "We must keep the memory of the past untainted. It is our duty to protect this moral asset", President Radev added.

After the opening of the exhibition, President Radev, diplomats and officials joined a procession to the Memorial Plaques of the Rescuers of the Bulgarian Jews where a wreath-laying ceremony took place.
