March 8, 1943:

• March 8-13: "Jews are part of a Red Army force that mounts a massive offensive against the Germans at Sokolov, Russia.
  Three hundred Jewish casualties, including 140 fatalities, are tallied by battle's end."

"Dimitur Peshev, vice-president of the Bulgarian National Assembly, was one of the delegation deputies elected by the citizens of Kyustendil to appeal the order to evacuate the local Jewish population.
The deputies presented a statement of protest to Parliament, but withdrew it after the king exerted pressure on them.
Although Peshev's refusal to withdraw his signature resulted in his being dismissed from his government post, the deportation orders for the Kyustendil Jews were rescinded."
