Dimitar Peshev Museum

The Dimitar Peshev Museum commemorates the actions of Dimitar Peshev and others who prevented the deportation of nearly 50,000 Bulgarian Jews to Nazi death camps in March 1943. The museum is housed in Peshev's former home and features artifacts related to his life and the historical context of this significant event. Exhibits detail the political climate of the time and the courageous efforts made to protect the Jewish population. The museum aims to educate visitors about this often-overlooked chapter of WWII history and honor those who demonstrated moral courage.
