Please take this from complete ignorance.
Is that part about turning in Jews truth and not just an urban legend? I can’t verify on snopes any more since they are no longer a valid source (were they ever?) of validation.
I have found that if a tidbit is just too good to be true it is because it is.
If someone could get me a link backing that up it would be a great favor.
Thanks!

Here’s the full ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Soros’ admissions:

Soros has talked about his time helping his father accumulate Jewish goods of those who had just been sent to concentration camps. He did a rather frank interview a number of years ago on 60 Minutes.

60 Minutes: You’re a Hungarian Jew…
Soros: Mm-hmm.
60 Minutes: Who escaped the Holocaust…
Soros: Mm-hmm.
60 Minutes: By — by posing as a Christian.
Soros: Right.
60 Minutes: And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Soros: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made.
60 Minutes: In what way?
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.
60 Minutes: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Soros: Yes. Yes.
60 Minutes: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Soros: Yes. That’s right. Yes.
60 Minutes: 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?
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.
60 Minutes: No feeling of guilt?
Soros: No.
