Weiss obtained the diplomatic protection for the house and bribed Hungarian Nazi for them to leave refugees alone.

"We were imprisoned in that building under terrible conditions, but received the food minimum to survive", - underlined an 80-year-old head Rabbi Josef Shweizer, who had survived the war in Weiss' house.

Bulgaria. A museum to politician of war times, who played a key role in saving 50 thousand Bulgarian Jews from deportation to Nazi death camps, has opened in Sofia.
