Title: Holocaust Survivors Condemn Glenn Beck’s ‘Monstrous’ Report On Soros

Rosenberg: 'Glenn Beck era will likely end sooner than expected'

Holocaust survivors and prominent Jewish groups are targeting Fox News personality Glenn Beck for his claim that billionaire George Soros helped in the effort to exterminate Jews during World War II.

Some political observers are wondering whether Beck may have gone too far this week with a series on Soros, the billionaire financier and philanthropist of Jewish extraction who survived the Nazi occupation of his native Hungary. During a multi-part series on Soros on his radio show, Beck on Thursday described Soros' youth during the war:

George Soros' father asked a Christian in Hungary to adopt his son or make him his Godson. And George Soros used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property. And then ship them off. And George Soros was part of it. ... It's frightening. Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps.

That comment drew condemnation from Holocaust survivors and Jewish groups, who described it as offensive and ignorant.

"For a political commentator or entertainer to have the audacity to say – inaccurately – that there's a Jewish boy sending Jews to death camps, as part of a broader assault on Mr. Soros, that's horrific," said Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League and a Holocaust survivor. "To hold a young boy responsible for what was going on around him during the Holocaust as part of a larger effort to denigrate the man is repugnant."

According to previously published accounts of his life, Soros was tasked as a child with delivering eviction notices to Jewish families during the war. But there does not appear to be any evidence that Soros "helped send the Jews to the death camps," as Beck asserted.

In an interview with the Jewish Week, Foxman said it was wrong to hold individuals to account for what they did to survive the war.

“Look, I spit on Jews when I was six years old,” Foxman told me. “Does that make me an anti-Semite?”

(Like Soros, Foxman was handed over to, and raised by, a Christian family during the war.)

Elan Steinberg, vice-president of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, told the Jewish Week that Beck's comments were "monstrous."

Beck's comments "go to the heart of the instrumentalization and trivialization of the Holocaust," Steinberg said.

Beck has long named George Soros as one of the people he views as an enemy of America, because of Soros' links to progressive causes. During the mid-term elections, Beck painted a narrative of Soros as a shadowy puppetmaster attempting to destroy the US economy and middle class.

Now, at least one political writer sees career jeopardy in Beck's latest attacks on Soros.

"Thanks to the ADL, the Glenn Beck era will likely end sooner than expected," writes M.J. Rosenberg, a TalkingPointsMemo writer who focuses on Jewish and Israeli issues.

Rosenberg posits that Beck's series on Soros "would have been illegal in Germany" where "it is illegal to use Nazi images and themes especially to malign a Jew, let alone a Holocaust survivor."

He adds that he felt Beck's series was "so anti-Semitic" that it convinced him a Holocaust could happen in the United States.

"I am not saying Beck is anti-Semitic," he explained. "I think he is so utterly ignorant of Jewish history and the history of Germany 1933-1945 that he is unaware of what he is doing."

The following audio was broadcast on The Glenn Beck Program, Nov. 10, 2010, and was uploaded to the Web by MediaMatters.

"To hold a young boy responsible for what was going on around him during the Holocaust as part of a larger effort to denigrate the man is repugnant."

In other words,"Yeah,he did it,but we Chosen People should never be criticized."

According to previously published accounts of his life, Soros was tasked as a child with delivering eviction notices to Jewish families during the war. But there does not appear to be any evidence that Soros "helped send the Jews to the death camps," as Beck asserted.

Really? Then where were they supposed to go after being evicted? Being homeless was a crime.

AND......,where do you think the wealth came from that set this poor boy up in the shipping business if it wasn't stolen from the Jews he helped persecute?

What did this poor city boy from Hungary know about ships,seamanship,navigating,financing,etc,etc,etc? Where did the money and the knowledge come from to set him up in the shipping business if not from the Nazi's?

Anybody that doesn't think it was Nazi money that helped set him up in the shipping business so he could smuggle Nazi's and valuables stolen by the Nazi's out of Europe still believes in the Easter Bunny.

Elan Steinberg, vice-president of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants, told the Jewish Week that Beck's comments were "monstrous."

Of course. ANYTHING that might jeopardize the professional victims status of Jews and limit their ability to play the Anti-Semite card is unthinkable to them. It is the Mother's Milk many of them were raised on. It IS their religion as well as their livlihood.

During the mid-term elections, Beck painted a narrative of Soros as a shadowy puppetmaster attempting to destroy the US economy and middle class.

That is the equivalent of saying the sun rises in the east.

"Thanks to the ADL, the Glenn Beck era will likely end sooner than expected," writes M.J. Rosenberg, a TalkingPointsMemo writer who focuses on Jewish and Israeli issues.

Why doesn't he just come right out and say "We anti-Gentiles/anti-Christians are going to get him!" No balls?

In an interview with the Jewish Week, Foxman said it was wrong to hold individuals to account for what they did to survive the war.

Well,we know for a fact they never tried to blame the Germans for what they had to do to survive the war,right? Well,other than the minor matters of having special laws passed in Germany that make it a felony to criticize Jews and to demand that the German taxpayers of post-war Germany give them all a monthly check,that is. Rosenberg posits that Beck's series on Soros "would have been illegal in Germany" where "it is illegal to use Nazi images and themes especially to malign a Jew, let alone a Holocaust survivor."

"1st Amendment? We don't need no stinkin' First Amendment! We are the Chosen People and special laws MUST be passed to protect us and to make sure nobody calls us on our crimes!"

FYI:

----

New York, NY, November 11, 2010 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today criticized as "completely inappropriate and offensive" remarks by Glenn Beck on his radio and television programs, in which he inaccurately connected George Soros, who was then a young boy, to the actions of others in sending Jews to death camps during the Holocaust.

On his November 10 radio show, Beck described how Soros, who was born in Hungary to Orthodox Jewish parents, "used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off. And George Soros was part of it. He would help confiscate the stuff. It was frightening. Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."

Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor, issued the following statement: Glenn Beck's description of George Soros' actions during the Holocaust is completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top. For a political commentator or entertainer to have the audacity to say – inaccurately – that there's a Jewish boy sending Jews to death camps, as part of a broader assault on Mr. Soros, that's horrific.

While I, too, may disagree with many of Soros' views and analysis on the issues, to bring in this kind of innuendo about his past is unacceptable. To hold a young boy responsible for what was going on around him during the Holocaust as part of a larger effort to denigrate the man is repugnant.

The Holocaust was a horrific time, and many people had to make excruciating choices to ensure their survival. George Soros has been forthright about his childhood experiences and his family's history, and there the matter should rest.

Gee,you Dims didn't seem interested in taking that stand when it came to Palin or O'Donnell.

As usual,your outrage is pretty selective and entirely partisan.

Psssst. Beck's quoting GEORGE SORO'S OWN WORDS.

From three of his books, and VIDEO.

Personally, I think any politician that has anything to do with this monster should be tarred and feathered, preferably on pay per view.

Beck is CORRECT. It is 'frightening' to realize a 14 year old boy was put in such a position.

Can you refute anything Beck has reported about Soros?

She was attacked for going to a Canadian hospital and getting a band-aid as a child. Accused of sucking up socialist medicine as a kid. Except that was before Canada went to socialist medicine, which explains why she didn't have to wait a few years for the band-aid. She paid the modest bill, and left.

No, she was attacked for railing against Canadian health care when her family used it. And check your facts, the Yukon had a government health care plan starting in 1960 (see: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hcs- sss/pubs/system-regime/2005-hcs-sss/time-chron-eng.php)
