Stories We Were Never Told is a powerful multimedia exhibition that brings to light a largely overlooked and deeply misunderstood chapter of Holocaust history: Bulgaria’s collaboration with Nazi Germany and its consequences for Jewish communities across the Balkans. For decades, a dominant narrative claimed that there was “no Holocaust in Bulgaria.” This exhibition challenges that myth. Through original paintings, survivor testimonies, archival photographs, documents, film, and audio recordings, Stories We Were Never Told reconstructs the complex reality experienced by Jewish communities in Bulgaria, Northern Greece, North Macedonia, and Serbia during World War II.
