The Roumanian Atrocities over the Bulgarian Population of Doubrodja 1916 Danail Katzeff

The present volume is not an act of accusation against the Roumanians and their government: it is not exhaustive enough to be such, nor does it possess the necessary classifications of all the crimes committed. Before the declaration of war, the Roumanian government took a series of barbarous measures against its own subjects of Bulgarian, Turkish and German nationality throughout the land, and especially in Dobroudja, the Roumanians were particularly cruel with the Bulgarian population of southern Dobroudja. The newspaper "Dobroudja" has published a list of thousands of Bulgarians arrested and carried away by the Roumanians before commencement of hostilities. Some of them have been killed outright, others, after atrocious tortures, have died on the way; others still, after managing to reach Moldova, have been submitted to a most severe jail treatment, as will be seen from the present volume.
