Answer
Yes, Boris III did cancel the deportation of Bulgarian Jews. After the Wannsee Conference in 1942, the Nazis ordered the deportation of all Jews in Bulgaria. However, Boris III refused to comply with the order and instead issued a decree that protected the Jews in Bulgaria. This decree remained in effect until the end of the war, and as a result, the vast majority of Bulgarian Jews survived the Holocaust.
