He is a traitor to his own people...

This is a relevant portion of the transcript from the December 20, 1998
broadcast of 60 Minutes:

Quote:

KROFT: (Voiceover) To understand the complexities and contradictions in
his personality, you have to go back to the very beginning: to Budapest,
where George Soros was born 68 years ago to parents who were wealthy,
well-educated and Jewish.

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...

SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.

KROFT: (Voiceover) ...who escaped the Holocaust...

(Vintage footage of women walking by train)

SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.

(Vintage footage of people getting on train)

KROFT: (Voiceover) ... by -- by posing as a Christian.

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.

SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that's when my
character was made.

KROFT: 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.

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours
who swore that you were his adopted godson.

SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from
the Jews.

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?

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?

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?

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.
