BRAVE JOURNEYS with TAMMI FARADAY

Jeff Schoep - From Radical to Redemption

Tammi Michelle Faraday Season 5 Episode 7

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.
