Reformed Neo-Nazi Leader Discusses History of the Movement, Getting Doxxed Live on Air, and Redemption
Manage episode 480916117 series 3548859
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jeff Schoep, a former leader of the National Socialist Movement — once the largest neo-Nazi organization in the United States. For over 20 years, Schoep was a prominent figure in the white nationalist movement. But in 2019, he made a profound and public decision to walk away from extremism and dedicate his life to dismantling it.
Now the founder of Beyond Barriers, a nonprofit focused on countering extremism and helping individuals disengage from hate-based ideologies, Schoep shares his unique insights into radicalization, transformation, and the power of redemption. He is also the author of American Nazi: From Hate to Humanity, a memoir tracing his journey from leading a hate group to becoming an advocate for peace and change.
This is a conversation about ideology, personal responsibility, and the possibility of change — no matter how far someone has gone down a dark path.
