How the Soros Connection Has Small Bard College Aiming for the $1 Billion Endowment Club
The famed financier has a special Holocaust-related bond with the school’s president. Result: Now there’s a shift from the old method that barely kept the junk-rated institution afloat.
Billionaire investor George Soros has a decadeslong connection to Bard College. In the 1980s, the school caught the famed financier’s attention when it started a residency program for artists who lived under authoritarian regimes, in nations such as Burma and China.
This had a special resonance for Soros, a big-time philanthropist who survived the Holocaust. As a teenager, he eluded the Nazis in his native Hungary and arrived in New York after the war.
That day commemorates the liberation of the Nazis’ largest death camp, Auschwitz, by the Red Army.
Jews from more than 20 countries were deported to their deaths there. But in that talk I remarked that the prime focus on Auschwitz obscures a key aspect of the Holocaust that needs to be assimilated: that, on the eve of the Nazi invasion, half of the Jews who would be murdered in the Holocaust were citizens of Poland.
Jews comprised 10 per cent of Poland’s entire pre-war population. In Poland’s capital, Warsaw, and its textile centre, Lodz, Jews formed one-third of the population.
