Among the many horrors of the Holocaust were the Judenräte, Jewish administrative councils set up under the aegis of Nazi Germany’s occupation of Eastern Europe.
Typically recruited from local elites and granted special privileges by the Germans, these collaborators managed the day-to-day operations of the ghettos, up to and including the horrible sharp end of Final Solution: confiscating Jewish property for the Germans, registering and organizing Jews destined for slave labor or extermination, and even managing deportations with the desperate hope that willingly engaging a sacrifice they could never prevent might enable them to save some others. Once all the deportations were done, the Judenrat itself would be executed or deported: Faust had nothing on this bargain.
Chaim Rumkowski, perhaps the most (in)famous Judenrat administrator, issued posterity the definitive howl of a collaborator’s agony when he was forced by the imminent Lodz Ghetto children’s action to implore Lodz’s families to peaceably surrender their young people to certain death: “I never imagined I would be forced to deliver this sacrifice to the altar with my own hands. In my old age, I must stretch out my hands and beg. Brothers and sisters: Hand them over to me! Fathers and mothers: Give me your children!”...

How George Soros got his start - betraying and killing his own.
Bkmk
He was 12. I don’t think he was a Nazi mastermind.
You need to read up more about Soros because he made money during the war confiscating Jewish property.
Rumkowski got his, at the hands of his fellow Jews before the Nazis got him.
Before WW I, Lvov was Lemberg and a city in the Hungarian half of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
It was a heady stew of German rulers over Ukrainian, Polish, and Jewish communities, none of whom liked each other.
It was the scene of ethnic cleansing right after WW I, before the Holodomor and Holocaust.

The Polish-Ukrainian War↑
When the Habsburg monarchy collapsed, an open conflict broke out between the Poles and the Ukrainians over the possession of Galicia. On 1 November 1918 the Western Ukrainian National Republic was proclaimed. However, after heavy fighting, the Poles forced the Ukrainians out of the city by 21 November 1918. In the following unrests from 22 to 24 November, a large number of Jewish citizens was killed or injured, their houses (as well as those of Ukrainians) were looted and burnt down. Despite mediation attempts by the Entente Powers, the war continued until July 1919. The Treaty of Warsaw, signed on 21 April 1920, finally ended the hostilities between the Polish Republic and the Ukrainian People’s Republic, recognizing recent Polish territorial gains in western Ukraine and the border along the Zbruch River.
The break-up of Austria-Hungary after WWI was always going to be ugly.
1990s Yugoslavia was just a continuation.
Perhaps you should read more than comic books.
He was under the guardianship of one of his fathers business associates. That man got the contract to moth out the Jewish homes.
The Jews were already gone. Soros was 12 when it started and 14 at the end of the war. He carried furniture, because if he didn’t he would have been exposed as Jewish and sent to the camps.
I am not defending the jerk’s actions later in life, but your characterization of him as a kid is way off base. It has become Freeper lore. And honestly, it make us look ignorant.
My great-grandfather left Lvov for the USA, deserting the Austro-Hungarian Army in the process, in 1911. I think you could say that he made the right call...
Can someonee please explain why FR loves Jews so much? Every article that says,”As a white person, white people suck” is written by a Jew. Frankfurt School communists and were Jews. Etc. Most of the folks against Trump are Jews. What am I missing?
I have seen Soros speak himself on news interview about how much he enjoyed his work pilfering from fellow Jews. He is a criminal demon. Shame on you for defending him. And by the way, before modern times people were considered adults when they were 14 and they lived away from their families and fed themselves as tradesmen. The scum knew what he was doing and was fine with it.
I ha e known about George Soros and his evil for over 25 years since the mid 1990s and not from comic books. You condescending attitude and the specious claim that I read it from a comic book is the mark of a weak and fragile mind and it says way more about yourself than it does me. You comment like anRINO douche.
True, he was not a “mastermind”. But a smiling Soros publicly admitted on 60 Minutes that he feels no guilt for what he was involved with.
My grandmother’s whole resident extended family was killed in one the the early massacres. About 2,500 Jews of all ages were Shot to death in the sandpit on the edge of the city.
LVOV was also known as Lviv (today) and under the AustroHungarian Empire of Emperor Franz Josef as Lemberg.
I am one of the last of her side of the family (mother’s) left alive from WW2 as I was blessed to be born in America.
We can and will Never Forget and out granddaughter and my kids will represent our survival and our faith.
He shouldn’t…any more than anyone should feel “guilt” over what they were told to do when they were children.
Go talk to a 12 year old. I think you over estimate their ability to stand up against their masters during a war.
Again, I am not defending the Soros we all know and despise. I am merely saying that we should despise him for the right reasons.
Nice attack. You must have a powerful morning erection with that.
Why don’t you go take care of that.
Well since I posted it in the evening at 9:30 PM and not in the morning even if I was so inclined having morning wood had nothing to do with it. Sorry that facts hurt your feelings - put a bandaid on it.
Your Masshole is showing, Vermont
Emboldened by the old man last night?
All Soros would have to do would be to express regret for what he did, even though he really had no choice in the matter. But he can’t bring himself to do even that much.
I could excuse him for what he did back then, after all, it was about survival in an unimaginably horrible situation. But I can’t excuse him for not caring about it now, and his smirking attitude when he talked about it.
Simply stated, he is an evil man now, and it may well be that his actions back then started the rot that eventually destroyed his soul. I am sure he will burn in hell, and the sooner he goes, the better.
