Beyond Hitler’s Grasp
Beyond Hitler’s Grasp tells the story of Bulgaria, one of the smallest European nations, and how the country managed to save and protect its Jewish population while under German rule during World War II. A hopeful and inspring story amidst the horrors of the Holocaust, Bulgaria protected its Jewish minority from the death camps despite its pro-Nazi government, the Nuremberg laws, and constant direct pressure from Hitler himself.
