Monument to the Salvation of Plovdiv Jews
The monument, designed by sculptor Atanas Karadechev, was unveiled on March 10, 1998, at the location where, on the same day in 1943, the Jews of Plovdiv were gathered for deportation. The citizens of the city resisted, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the deportation order. Shaped like a shofar, a ceremonial horn used in Sabbath services, the monument serves as a reminder of this historic event. Annually, around March 10, the Jewish community in Plovdiv hosts a commemorative event at the monument to mark the anniversary of this remarkable rescue. Many in attendance are direct descendants of those who were involved in or witnessed the events of 1943 when, under the leadership of Metropolitan Kirill, the people of Plovdiv saved over 6,000 fellow Jews from the Holocaust.
