<h3><img class="caption" src="images/stories/soros.jpg" border="0" alt="George Soros" align="left" />György Schwartz<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;">, better known to the world as George Soros, was born August 12, 1930 in Hungary. Soros' father, Tivadar, was a fervent practitioner of the Esperanto language invented in 1887, and designed to be the first global language, free of any national identity. The Schwartz's, who were non-practicing Jews, changed the family name to Soros, in order to facilitate assimilation into the Gentile population, as the Nazis spread into Hungary during the 1930s.</span></h3>
<p>When Hitler's henchman Adolf Eichmann arrived in Hungary , to oversee the murder of that country's Jews, George Soros ended up with a man whose job was confiscating property from the Jewish population. Soros went with him on his rounds. Soros has repeatedly called 1944 "the best year of his life."  70% of Mr. Soros's fellow Jews in Hungary, nearly a half-million human beings, were annihilated in that year, yet he gives no sign that this put any damper on his elation, either at the time or indeed in retrospect".  During an interview with "Sixty Minute's" Steve Kroft, Soros was asked about his "best year."</p>
<p>KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.<br /> SOROS: Yes. Yes. <br />KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from your fellow Jews, friends and neighbors. <br />SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.</p>
