Reportedly, a child of seven or eight told a Birkenau Sonderkommando: 'Why, you are a Jew and you lead dear children to the gas--only in order to live? Is your life among the band of murderers really dearer to you than the lives of so many Jewish victims?' "

Does anyone know what Soros said?

liberalh8ter: "Does anyone know what Soros said?"

Sure, Steve Kroft did an interview with George Soros for CBS 60 minutes, December 20, 1998 -- a partial transcript:

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."
