First Wikipedia:
- "Soros was thirteen years old in March 1944 when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary.
Soros took a job with the Jewish Council, which had been established during the Nazi occupation of Hungary.
Soros later described this time to writer Michael Lewis:
- 'The Jewish Council asked the little kids to hand out the deportation notices.
I was told to go to the Jewish Council.
And there I was given these small slips of paper ...
It said report to the rabbi seminary at 9 am ...
And I was given this list of names.
I took this piece of paper to my father.
He instantly recognized it.
This was a list of Hungarian Jewish lawyers.
He said, 'You deliver the slips of paper and tell the people that if they report they will be deported."
"Later that year, at age 14, Soros lived with and posed as the godson of an employee of the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture.
The official was at one point ordered to inventory the remaining contents of the estate of a wealthy Jewish family that had fled the country; rather than leave the young Soros alone in the city, the official brought him along."
And here is that 60 minutes interview with Steve Kroft, December 1998:
- "George Soros Interview On 60 Minutes
"When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros' father was a successful lawyer.
He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat.
But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up.
He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson.
But survival carried a heavy price tag.
While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.

KROFT: (Voiceover) 'These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros' friends and neighbors.'
(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) 'You're a Hungarian Jew…'
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
KROFT: (Voiceover) '…who escaped the Holocaust…'
(Vintage footage of women walking by train)
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
(Vintage footage of people getting on train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) '…by–by posing as a Christian.'
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) 'Right.'
(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)
KROFT: (Voiceover) 'And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.'
Mr. SOROS: 'Right. I was 14 years old.
And I would say that that's when my character was made.'
KROFT: 'In what way?'
Mr. SOROS: 'That one should think ahead.
One should understand and–and anticipate events and when–when one is threatened.
It was a tremendous threat of evil.
I mean, it was a–a very personal experience of evil.'
KROFT: 'My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.'
Mr. SOROS: 'Yes. Yes.'
KROFT: 'Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.'
Mr. SOROS: 'Yes. That's right. Yes.'
KROFT: 'I mean, that's–that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. 'Was it difficult?'
Mr. SOROS: 'Not–not at all. Not at all.
Maybe as a child you don't–you don't see the connection.
But it was–it created no–no problem at all.'
KROFT: 'No feeling of guilt?'
Mr. SOROS: 'No.'
KROFT: 'For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching these people go.
I could just as easily be there.
I should be there.' None of that?'
Mr. SOROS: 'Well, of course I c–I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away.
But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was–well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets–that if I weren't there–of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would–would–would be taking it away anyhow.
And it was the–whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the–I had no role in taking away that property.
So I had no sense of guilt.'
Author: "Of course most of us here are already aware of Mr. Soros' highly questionable actions during the Nazi occupation. (Though the public at large undoubtedly has a different perspective, if they know anything about his earlier days at all.)
"But the statements he made in this interview to my mind are quite chilling.
He forgives himself everything.
He says that if he hadn't done it somebody else would have.
"All of which would seem to indicate that Mr. Soros has no conscience.
A lack of conscience is said to be a common symptom of sociopaths."
Of course, (now BJK speaking), whoever would concern themselves with George Soros Holocaust past, when the real threat to our republic is those billionaire Koke brothers and their conservative causes! </sarc>
