He was thirteen years old during the Nazi Occupation of Hungary and was banned from attending school due to his Jewish lineage. This meant that he was in great danger of losing even his life owing to the cruel regime that the Nazi Germans had instilled all over the continent, especially Eastern Europe.Braving the Odds – Young Soros

Working as a waiter and a railway porter, before getting a job in a merchant bank, he worked hard and earned a place in the prestigious London School of Economics.
