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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Sofia to Jaffa\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles the fascinating saga of a population relocated, a story that has not been told until now.
