Slander on my dad despicable

BECAUSE OF his lifelong dedication to human rights and social justice, my father, George Soros, has become the enemy of choice for despots at home and around the world. That means he is frequently targeted by malicious lies and wild conspiracy theories.

Until now, I have been mostly silent on these matters because I have not wanted to add fuel to the fire by giving them further attention. But I find one lie so odious that I feel duty bound to address it directly: the false assertion that my father somehow collaborated with the Nazis during the German occupation of Budapest.

On Tuesday morning, Roseanne Barr became the newest promoter of this egregious slander. In a tweet, she called my father a “nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth.”

Here is what actually happened to my father, as documented in Michael Kaufman’s biography “Soros: The Life and Times of a Messianic Billionaire.”
