When Soros was a teenager under Hitler, he and his family helped to confiscate land from his Jewish neighbors. He indicated in an interview much later in his life that he did not feel guilty for it.
“I don’t deny the Jews their national existence,” he toldSteve Kroft in a 1998 60 Minutes interview, “but I don’t want to be part of it.”
In his book Underwriting Democracy, Soros attributed his lack of Jewish sympathy to his mother:
“My mother was quite anti-Semitic, and ashamed of being Jewish.”
“I left Hungary behind and my Jewishness did not express itself in a sense of tribal loyalty that would have led me to support Israel.”
