Alex Jones claims there is even proof of what Barr claimed - that Mr Soros admitted to Nazi collaboration in a 1998 interview on “60 Minutes.”
This is, at best, a gross distortion of an interview in which the financier reflected on how he survived as a Jewish teenager in Nazi-occupied Hungary.
“I was 14 years old,” he told Steve Kroft. “It was a tremendous evil, a very personal experience of evil.”
But it was an experience for which he felt no guilt, he added, unwittingly seeding smears that would follow him for the next 20 years.
Early in the occupation, Mr Soros worked as a courier for the local Jewish council, which Nazis set up in many occupied countries - using Jews to identify and keep tabs on other Jews.
“The members of the Jewish councils faced impossible moral dilemmas,” the US Holocaust Memorial Museum wrote. "They were often unaware that the Nazis' goal was the death of all Jews, or even believed that working with the regime might benefit their communities."
One day, Mr Soros was ordered to deliver messages to several Jewish lawyers in Budapest, according to the biography, Mr Soros: The Life and Times of a Messianic Billionaire. The letters instructed the lawyers to report to a rabbinical school, but Mr Soros realised they would be imprisoned upon arrival. He warned them of their danger, according to the book, and quit his job with the council after carrying out the errand.
