At 10.30 a.m. in the Plenary Hall of the National Assembly, the Chairman of the State Agency "Archives", Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mihail Gruev, will talk about the events that made the rescue of the Bulgarian Jews possible.

Special guests of the Parliament will be the winners of the International Literary Student Contest entitled: “He who saves one human life saves the whole universe”.
