1. Wrong country name

There has never a 'Macedonian' nation, let alone a Macedonian country. The greatest person who ever came from the Macedonia region, Alexander the Great, called himself 'King of all Greeks' and the majority of the Macedonia region dating back to ancient times is an integral part of modern Greece
2. Ask the British.
Jake   (03.13.13)
From Wikipedia article on the history of Jews in Macedonia: "Hesitant to the German requests to deport non-Bulgarian Jews, in late 1942 and early 1943 the Bulgarian government utilized Swiss diplomatic channels to inquire whether possible deportations of these Jews can happen to British-controlled Palestine by ships from the Black Sea rather than to concentration camps by trains, about which rumors of mistreatment spread, and for which the Germans requested a significant amount of money. However, this attempt was blocked by the British Foreign Minister, Anthony Eden.[35] After this failure, the Bulgarian government finally succumbed to German requests to transport non-Bulgarian Jews to its border on the river Danube, surrendering them to the Nazi German authorities and to their deaths. Thus, the Jewish communities of Bulgarian-controlled Yugoslavia and Greece were almost completely wiped out. "
