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.
Glenn has gone out of his way to say that he can forgive George Soros the child but can’t forgive the 80 year old man who feels no remorse for it.
As awful as that is and no matter how much i hate this guy i dont understand why people complain about this particular interview. What did you want him to do? His father was able to save him by posing as the adopted son of someone else. Was he supposed to, as a child, go up to the nazis and say “ excuse me im jewish i should be with those people there”. Its absolutely ridiculous, if i had a child and was in this predicament i would tell him to lie at all costs to save his life. Apparently he could have taken on the nazis according to some here. Attack the guy for the evil bastard that he is, not try to spin some stuff about world war 2 when he was a child trying to survive the holocaust.
