The text of the anti-Jewish law ‚Law on the Defense of the Nation‘ passed in its entirety on December 26 has not been published. With only 49000 Jews here of a good class and holding no important government positions there was no Jewish problem. The law is said to be drastic in its terms but a loophole in its strict enforcement may be the fact that rules and regulations for the laws application drawn up by the Minister of the Interior must be approved by the Council of Ministers. I find the Bulgarian people as a whole apathetic about it and a little ashamed.

The United States of America were neutral during the first two years of the Second World War. They were brought into the conflict by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941 and became one of the decisive belligerent nations, defeating Japan in the Pacific and heavily contributing to the war effort against the Axis powers, e.g. during the Allied landings in North Africa, Italy and France. American forces invaded German territory early in 1945.
