In a 1998 interview on CBS’ 60 Minutes, Soros admitted to having helped Nazis confiscate property from Jews during the Holocaust. I’ve seen YouTube video of the 1998 interview with my own eyes. I would link to the interview, but it no longer exists on YouTube (or anywhere else on the internet for that matter). Here’s a transcript though: http://sweetness-light.com/archive/george-soros-on-helping-the-nazis-during-the-holocaust
If, as you say, the young Soros-as-Nazi-collaborator scenario is impossible, then Soros must have been lying to 60 Minutes when he admitted to having collaborated with Nazis in confiscating Jewish property and valuables.
I will say this, it used to be fairly widely accepted that as a very young man (from ages 14-15), Soros collaborated with the Nazis in Hungary. And there used to be quite a few reputable sources of reference for such information online. Not so much now. Searching for such information online returns little more than links to Snopes’ and Media Matters’ alleged “debunking” of those charges. But since Soros is the primary source of funding for Snopes (which masquerades as a ‘nonpartisan’ final authority on all matters) and Media Matters (which masquerades as a ‘nonpartisan’ media ‘watchdog’ organization), those “debunkings” should be considered highly suspect.
Unfortunately, nearly all of the other sites that currently have unflattering biographical information on Soros — as opposed to 5-6 years ago, when such information was widespread — appear to be obscure right-wing blogspot and wordpress blogs, none of which I’d cite for evidence to prove a point (although that’s not to say that their information is necessarily wrong, just that they’re too obscure and sketchy to reference as reliable sources). (Debbie Schlussel’s site has some items about Soros’ collaborating with the Nazis, but although she did some good work in years past, she’s ultimately proven herself to be a highly unreliable/untrustworthy source as well).
For people looking for general background information on Soros (that isn’t bought and paid for by Soros himself — like Snopes), this Pittsburgh Live article from 2003 is good (though it doesn’t deal with the Holocaust): http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/s_143947.html
