Dimitar Peshev Museum, Kyustendil, Bulgaria
iDimitar Peshev's name is forever linked with the odissea of saving the bulgarian jews during WW2. He was then deputee chairman of the bulgarian parlaiment and managed to arrange that nobody touched the jews of Bulgaria and they were saved from the destiny of the other European Jews. He was dismissed from the parliament following his deed and was condemned aso by the communists ruling Bulgaria after that. Grateful jews sent him some money so that he survived but miserably. He was honored by Israel as righteous of the justs and grateful Bugarian Jews gathered the means to built this museum in Kustebndil, where was his home. In the yard of the museum, there is a remembrance plaque in memory of Itshak Rabin.
