BRAVE JOURNEYS with TAMMI FARADAY
Jeff Schoep - From Radical to Redemption
This is a very unique episode of BRAVE JOURNEYS.
We’ve all heard stories of people who lived broken, crime filled lives, who have an epiphany & completely turn their lives around, harnessing the wisdoms & insights they learnt along the way, to educate & rehabilitate others.
But what if the person in question is a one-time Nazi whose raison d’etre for more than three decades was to see an entire people - your people - wiped off the face of the earth? Let that sink in for just a moment…
For 27 years Jeff Schoep was a member of the the largest neo-Nazi militant, racist, antisemitic organisation in the United States, the National Socialist Movement, or NSM & for 25 of those years, he was its National leader. Its repugnant mission was to create an all-white, non-semitic America.
But after sitting down with victims of hate groups, Jeff walked away from extremism forever.
In March 2019, Jeff publicly denounced Nazism & became the highest profile former white supremacist in America to ever publicly reject far-right extremism & hate ideology.
