Did he "not feel guilty" because he helped warn other Jews they were in danger?

The problem is the Association Fallacy you told us about earlier.
Despite being exploited by the Nazis (and quitting his role once he realized what was going on as the above explains), some folk are trying to tar him with the same brush which is at best incredibly stupid and at worst dishonest.
The biggest individual donor is international financier George Soros, a Hungarian-born US citizen, who has given Best for Britain £800,000 in total so far, with £400,000 of that coming since the start of the year through his pro-European Open Society Foundation.
Having made his billions in finance, including betting against sterling on Black Wednesday in 1992 - which gained him a reputation as the "man who broke the Bank of England" - Mr Soros, 87, donated more than £8bn to philanthropic causes between 1979 and 2011.
UK electoral law bans foreign donations but only in the run-up to elections or referendums.
Best for Britain is keen to stress that it has also raised significant sums from more than 8,000 small donors.

But the involvement of Mr Soros has generated a backlash in the Brexit-backing media, with theDaily Mail telling him on its front page: "Butt out Mr Soros. You can keep your tainted money."
Mr Soros hit back at the Daily Mail's headline inan article for the Mail on Sunday, explaining why his love for Britain had led him to campaign against the "tragic mistake" of Brexit
Well I specifically am not infering anything further from his demonstrable association with the nazi's as a child so I don't see how the association fallacy is relevant either...
A) to me in this case
Or
B) to your original statement about (other) people linking Soros to the nazi's when this is demonstrably true.
An example of the association fallacy would be to say that Soros was associate with the nazi's (true) therefore everything he does is evil (not necessarily true)..... this it the 'fallacy' part
Anyway he's a shady figure who gave money to a pro remain group because of his 'love' for the UK.. . Which is strange because he did not seem to care so much back in '92?
I am not implying that you are making that association, only that many others are.

I'll would be happy to concede others may have engaged in such a fallacious arguing style....
Anyway maybe we should get back on topic.
*Snip*
he worked for the nazi's....
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.
As the deportation of Jews increased, Mr Soros was forced to hide his Jewish identity. He assumed a fake name, and his father paid a Christian government official to take the boy in as his “godson.”
Mr Soros once accompanied his Christian protector on a trip out of town, according to the book, where the official had been ordered to inventory the mansion of a Jew who had fled the country.
“George walked around the grounds and spent time with [the homeowner's] staff,” biographer Michael Kaufman wrote.
“He collaborated with no one and he paid attention to what he understood to be his primary responsibility: making sure that no one doubted that he was [Christian]. Among his practical concerns was to make sure that no one saw him pee.”
...In fact, Kaufman wrote in the biography, Mr Soros would spend years in therapy “dealing with the impact that his temporary, necessary, and pragmatic denial of Jewishness at the age of fourteen had had on the development of his personality.”
I love how bombs get sent to some peoples homes, which could have killed people who have families, and all people care about is who can score the most political points. Truly fascinating world we live in.
If you want a plan to make Republicans look stupid and dangerous, you mail poorly constructed fake bombs that you can take pictures of and smear all over the internet to make people think Trump's "rhetoric" is dangerous. You don't actually want to blow up the targets now do you.
Bit obvious aint it?
Someone took a picture- people have never, ever done anything silly like that before
I will, in fact I will go as far as to blame Russian Muslims.Has anyone blamed Russia yet?
So let me get this straight:
1. Somehow the attacker knew the private addresses of all these powerful people
Oh look, midterms are coming up, need a plan to gin up sympathy for the Democrats and play the victim so they've got another reason to blame Trump for.

I would have said by those pictures (4chan and reddit are always such great sources for people that can't find a clue with a map and GPS) that it's not the democrats who are getting desperate.
