Additionally, he leaves behind his sister Eileen Singer (Albert) of Philadelphia, PA and their children and grandchildren. A scholar of international repute, Chary documented the saving of the Bulgarian Jews during WWII in The Bulgarian Jews and the Final Solution. The book remains the definitive study of how the Bulgarian people, under the nose of a Nazi regime, used their political skills to halt the deportation of their Jewish citizens, who were loaded on a train headed for the death camps. Chary lectured internationally on the topic, interviewed survivors for Steven Spielberg's Shoah Project, and always credited the Bulgarian people, not their King, for stopping the train...(Click the Source of Information link below to read more.)
