George Soros has stated repeatedly that, "I learned the art of survival from a grand master." Tivadar Soros, his father, is that virtuoso of confidence, self-possession and cunning he is referring to, and "Masquerade: Dancing around Death in Nazi-Occupied Hungary" is his compelling story.
The second oldest of 10 children of relatively prosperous and secularized Hungarian Jews, Tivadar Soros was born in Nyirgyhaza, 150 miles east of Budapest in the rich agricultural country bordering the northern edge of the Great Hungarian Plain.
Tivadar, to be sure, had slipped Baufluss, a man of German origin married to a Jew, several thousand pengos and so George was able to spent part of the war assuming a new identity and dining at such model estates (by then expropriated) as that of Baron Moritz Kornfeld, a Jewish aristocrat.

Tivadar Soros, whose survival skills had been honed as a prisoner of war in Siberia during World War I, concluded that the best way to avoid Eichmann and his accomplices was simply to disappear.
Tivadar describes the harrowing final months before the arrival of the liberating but ill-disciplined Russians, when gangs of Fascist thugs roamed Budapest, Russian planes strafed the streets, and the retreating Nazis organized death marches to herd the remaining Jews toward the Austrian border.
Tivadar's hope that people would learn to work together for freedom and dignity remained with him until the day he died, despite the agonies of two world wars and the horrors of the Holocaust.

 The New York Review of Books: Artful Dodger
If these quotations read like excerpts from the diary of a hedonistic bourgeois Hungarian, this is because their author, Tivadar Soros, was one.
What makes these quotations provocative, however, is that Soros was a Jew and that he wrote these words during the ten months in 1944 when the Germans were occupying his country and Adolf Eichmann's SS and the Hungarian government were sending nearly half a million Jews to Auschwitz.
In fact, late in 1944, when Soros and some of the Jews he protected attended the Opera and the National Theater on a season ticket, most Budapest Jews languished in ghettos while fascist Arrow Cross hoodlums dragged hundreds of them to the shores of the Danube to be shot and thrown into the river.

We must, of course, protect our security; but we must also correct the grievances on which terrorism feeds....Crime requires police work, not military action." "An open society is a society which allows its members the greatest possible degree of freedom in pursuing their interests compatible with the interests of others," Soros said.
