Reddit reviews Masquerade: The Incredible True Story of How George Soros' Father Outsmarted the Gestapo

It is astounding how folks can buy into baseless conspiracy theories, and claim them as fact.

George Soros, his brother Paul, and his father Tivdar were persecuted Jews living in Budapest during the Holocaust. Tivdar, a literal POW at the hands of the Russians in WWI, created purchased homemade documents that saved his family and several others from being shipped to Concentration Camps like Auschwitz.

He literally wrote a fucking book about it: Masquerade: The Incredible True Story of How George Soros' Father Outsmarted the Gestapo

Roseanne claims that Soros was actually fighting for the Nazis and turning in Jews, even though it is the exact opposite of everything we know and George was 9 years old when the war started. A thirty second Google search would prove this conspiracy theory to be a bunch of antisemitic bunk, but apparently Roseanne and her fellow Pedes only visit Russian disinformation sites.

Hell, I don’t even like the guy! Many leftists don’t! But to pretend your political adversary is a Nazi boogeyman that’s a part of the NWO is fucking ludicrous, especially considering her “God Emperor” has defended Nazis and White Supremacists in public, was given the Nazi salute by Richard Spencer, and was endorsed by the Daily Stormer almost the moment he announced his candidacy.

False. This narrative is about him spending his time in Hungary under the false identity as he and his father worked to eluded Nazis. From the actual foreword in the book:

> It is a sacrilegious thing to say, but these ten months were one of the happiest times of my life. I was fourteen years old. We were in great peril, but my father was seemingly in command of the situation. I was aware of the dangers because my father spent a lot of time explaining them to me but I did not believe in my heart of hearts that I could get hurt. We were pursued by evil forces and we were clearly on the side of the angels because we were unjustly persecuted; moreover, we were trying not only to save ourselves but also to save others. The odds were against us but we seemed to have the upper hand. What more could a fourteen year old want? I adored and admired my father. We led an adventurous life and we had fun together. I think some of that feeling comes through in the book but my father was far too modest to brag about how many people he helped.
