The young Bulgarian wife desperate to leave Casablanca, Annina Brandel (played by Joy Page), described the situation in Bulgaria in 1942 as "hell". However, although an ally of Nazi Germany since 1941 (not by choice but by coercion), Bulgaria kept its independence and, like very few other mainland European countries (such as Denmark and Albania), the Bulgarian government largely protected its own Jewish citizens from deportations and/or enabled many to escape. For all this, Bulgaria was thanked after WWII by the Israeli government.
