DOBRICH MILITARY CEMETERY

On 5-7 September 1916, during the First World War, the Bulgarians with Ottoman and German support fought Romanian, Russian and Serb armies for control over Dobrich. The push was successful. The Bulgaria-led forces continued farther northeast. 

What remained were the dead. Interments in Dobrich of the fallen from both sides started as soon as the battle ended. Until 1918, a total of 3,500 soldiers from 6 armies, 10 ethnicities and 5 confessions were buried in it.

Jews were among these.

Through the decades, the military cemetery was redesigned several times. Today, it is a museum.
