:
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'sâthat sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
MR. SOROS:
Notânot at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don'tâyou don't see the connection. But it wasâit created noâno 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 courseâI 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 wasâwell, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in marketsâthat if I weren't thereâof course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else wouldâwouldâwould be taking it away anyhow. And it was theâwhether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So theâI had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.
