Ezra Levant has a blog post here, where he describes a man.
George Schwartz was born in Hungary in 1930 — not the luckiest time and place to be born a Jew.
George’s father Theodore tried to change the family’s fortunes by changing their name to something less Jewish-sounding. It didn’t help. And soon war came.
When the Nazis took total control of Hungary in 1944, the Holocaust followed. In two months, 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to death camps.
To survive, George, then a teenager, collaborated with the Nazis.
First he worked for the Judenrat. That was the Jewish council set up by the Nazis to do their dirty work for them. Instead of the Nazis rounding up Jews every day for the trains, they delegated that murderous task to Jews who were willing to do it to survive another day at the expense of their neighbours.
Theodore hatched a better plan for his son. He bribed a non-Jewish official at the agriculture ministry to let George live with him. George helped the official confiscate property from Jews.
By collaborating with the Nazis, George survived the Holocaust. He turned on other Jews to spare himself.
George Schwartz was a Kapo. A very evil man.
Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes asked him that. Was it difficult? “Not at all,” [George] answered.
“No feeling of guilt?” asked Kroft. “No,” said [George]. “There was no sense that I shouldn’t be there. If I wasn’t doing it, somebody else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not. So I had no sense of guilt.”
A Nazi would steal the Jews’ property anyways. So why not him?
That moral hollowness has shaped [George's] life. He’s a rabid critic of capitalism, but in 1992 when he saw a chance, he speculated against the British pound, causing it to crash, devastating retirement savings for millions of Britons. [George] pocketed $1.1 billion for himself. If he didn’t do it, someone else would, right?
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name. 
George moved to London after the war and then to New York, where he became a stockbroker. He’s rich now. Forbes magazine says he’s the 35th richest man in the world. Maybe you’ve heard of him. He goes by the name his father invented: George Soros.
Yes, George “Soros” has no regrets about his Kapo years.
In 2002, Soros was convicted of insider trading in France, and fined millions of dollars. He admitted buying the shares, but denied it was a crime.
And that, ladies and gentlemen is the sure sign of a progressive. An amorality built around ego that excuses all acts that are unacceptable for others. That’s what allows an Al Gore to have jets and yachts and mansions, while preaching frugality to the masses. That’s what allows a Michelle Obama to call a country “downright mean” while raping that country’s taxpayers for extravagant vacations.
The hypocrisy of George isn’t that unusual or remarkable. When you can rationalize the small crimes how far is that from rationalizing sending fellow Jews to their deaths?
This is a man who boasted he offered to help his mother commit suicide. Apparently he didn’t see enough death in Hungary.
Soros is a sociopath. But he’s a sociopath with $14 billion, and he likes to spend it on politics.
Politics of the anti-American variety.
Now Soros has turned his attention to Canada.
One of his front groups, called Avaaz, is lobbying to stop Sun Media’s license for a TV news channel. Soros doesn’t know anything about Canada — Avaaz called the Sun newspapers the “Suncor newspapers” — but we’re his latest toy.
Avaaz is sending a petition to Canada’s TV regulator, the CRTC, claiming that thousands of Canadians want to censor the Sun and keep it off the air.
The petition is a fraud — it’s an Internet petition, and anyone can sign anyone else up without their permission. Fake names are permitted, and so are foreign citizens. And the whole campaign is run out of New York.
Do you think Soros should determine what you can watch on TV? Do you think that decision should be made in New York? Is our freedom of speech just another trinket for him to buy and sell?
Hasn’t Soros silenced enough voices in his life?
Fight back.
He has similar designs on the US. Shutting up dissent here will take a little longer, though.
I wish this man slow, painful death, and perpetual torment from his Holocaust victims.

@ PaladinPhil:
What I don’t understand is how regulated your cable is. Your DOT licenses stations, doesn’t it? Do they also require a license for cable?
This is rapidly becoming moot in the US, because very few people even watch broadcast TV any more, and cable channels don’t need a government license, but regulation of AM radio is still a burning issue, since that’s where all the (primarily conservative) talk is.
As we migrate to the internet for everything, it’s going to pretty hard for our politicians and activists to resist controlling it.
Soros is an evil man. He is a Progressive and had no qualms working with teh Nazis.

All television channels, and radio stations, are licensed under the CRTC, Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission. They control a lot up here. Including phone service and cell phone service. If it’s broadcast or transmitted they have their fingers in the contract somewhere. Sometimes it’s a good thing, other times not so much. They are also equivalent to your FCC.
@ Nevergiveup:
Yup!
In this case: May the Schwartz not be with you
@ PaladinPhil:
What I was getting at is can they stop a cable channel for political reasons? It appears that’s what the issue here is.
Again, it’s soon going to be moot. The mother of all free press battles all around the world is going to be over the internet, when all TV and radio is streamed.
I say this is bullsh*t. Soros was never a Kapo. Never. He was “adopted” by a Nazi who robbed the Jews and Soros knew it. But he was a child or teenager respectively.
Look at the date of birth: 1930 – he was 15 years old when WWII ended.
Bullsh*t.

The important point is that he has no regrets to this day. The circumstances are a detail if you have no regrets.
@ snork:
I don’t believe so. There are a number of issues at the moment. None of them political. Avaaz, and other moonbats think they will have a say. SunTV will probably not get a license until about about Oct 2011. This is just due to the amount of Category 1 licenses that are available for cable broadcasting.

He was still a Nazi sympathizer. That is bad anyway.

For G~d’s sake, he was much to young and it wasn’t his choice to live with a Nazi. It was his fathers choice and saved his life. He was never in a concentration camp, so how can he be a Kapo ?
Tell me: what should he have done ? And because so many Holocaust survivers feel guilt because they survived – a very irrational feeling – why has Soros to feel guilt ?
@ Guggi:
That was completely non responsive. I said that the primary issue is his lack of regret or remorse, a theme repeated when he said that he didn’t care that he stole so much money from British retirees.

I agree that George Soros is an evil man. The story of his past is instructive, since it helps us to understand how he became evil, and why he remains evil to this day. Young George, like most teenagers very likely did not fully-understand the implications of his acts, i.e., that his rationalizations at the time did not actually excuse what he was doing, and that he was in fact being cowardly and supporting a great evil. As he grew older and more thoughtful, he would thus have to make a critical choice, to: (A) recognize that what he had done in his youth was indeed an unforgivable sin, and thus he would be forced to live the rest of his life with the awful realization that he in fact was, or at least had been, a truly reprehensible monster; or (B) completely deny (to himself and to others) the unquestionable horror of what he had done, and thereby extend the initial rationalizations into perpetuity. As a man of moral weakness (and he is not unusual in that regard) he chose the latter. For myself, I can actually almost imagine doing (shudder) exactly what he did in his youth — an act which would likely have made me so ashamed of myself later in life that I would quite-possibly have committed suicide to escape from the agony of my remorse. So I can understand that Mr. Soros has desperately clung to his rationalizations, no doubt repeated to himself endlessly over the years, to reassure himself that what he did was not especially evil at all. For him to accept anything otherwise, regardless of the facts, is simply unthinkable to him. In summary, he is now one of the richest men in the world, yet also a pitiful liar to both others and to himself — a man who has done all he can to murder his own soul, so that he need not suffer to hear its accusations. His body lives in luxury, but his soul still lives in Hell. And, if there is such a thing as eternal damnation, it surely (and sadly) awaits for him also.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro
Fidel Alejandro Vittore Castro Ruz was born on a sugar plantation in Birán, near Mayarí, in the modern-day province of Holguín – then a part of the now-defunct Oriente province. He was the third child born to Ángel Castro y Argiz, a Galician immigrant from the impoverished northwest of Spain who became relatively prosperous through work in the sugar industry and successful investing.[13]
