BULGARIA: HUMANITARIAN SPIRIT OF THE PAST AND FUTURE

The Bulgarian Cultural and Heritage Center of Seattle and the Consulate General of Bulgaria in Los Angeles cordially invite you to celebrate Bulgaria’s humanitarian spirit at a screening of two films, classical music, singing, and guest speakers. The event will take place in the Madison Ballroom of the luxurious Renaissance Seattle Hotel on October 27, 2013 (Sunday) from 3.30 to 6.30 pm.

This year we celebrate the 70th anniversary of Bulgaria rescuing its 50,000 Jews from deportation to Nazi death camps during the Second World War. History credits the Bulgarian people and their Orthodox Church. This spring, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church was nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. JOIN US TO COMMEMORATE THESE HISTORIC EVENTS AND THE BULGARIAN SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING, COMPASSION AND A DESIRE TO LIVE IN HARMONY.
