"One currently world-famous Jew is that rarest of birds, a denaskulo (native speaker of Esperanto): George Soros. The name Soros, Esperanto for “will soar,” was chosen by Tivadar Soros, George’s father, who wrote a novel and a memoir in Esperanto. After escaping from a Siberian POW camp during the Russian Civil War, Tivadar Soros founded an Esperanto club in Irkutsk before making his way back to his native Hungary. When he and George left Hungary in 1947, their first stop was an Esperanto convention in Bern, Switzerland. Later that year, George Soros made speeches about world peace from the Esperanto speakers’ stand in London’s Hyde Park. Soros’s philanthropic career, his interest in global cooperation, and his wish to be a universalist benefactor rather than a pleader for Jewish causes were surely influenced by the ideals of the Esperanto movement."

 

"we still wander in the linguistic wilderness, tribe upon tribe of us, and the lack of a common language seems the least of our problems. Esperanto never became a substantial social movement; in a basic sense, it remained a gimmick, fodder for popular jokes. One needs more than a new language to bring humanity out of its darkness: Even vastly more powerful devices like the personal computer and the smartphone haven’t done that. Zamenhof probably should have remained a Zionist and tried to preserve the tribe instead of redeeming all humanity."
