History

Who is Jeff Schoep?

From leading America’s largest neo-Nazi group to becoming a beacon of hope, Jeff Schoep’s journey is a seismic shift that ignites conversations and reshapes lives. His voice, once a weapon of hate, now resounds with redemption, echoing in powerful keynote talks, workshops, and encounters that leave indelible marks.

For two decades, darkness consumed Jeff Schoep as he steered the National Socialist Movement. Yet beneath the shadows, a spark of doubt flickered, ignited by the unexpected kindness of a Black musician and the unwavering compassion of a Muslim filmmaker. Today, Jeff wields empathy and understanding, peeling back the layers of extremism he once championed. His firsthand journey exposes the nefarious underworld of hate, offering a chilling yet crucial glimpse into the extremist mindset.

From Oslo’s Nobel Peace Center to Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk, Jeff dismantles hate one powerful encounter at a time. His platform expands beyond synagogues and universities, reaching government agencies like the Office of Juvenile Justice and renowned institutions like the RAND Corporation. Jeff collaborates with mental health professionals, academic researchers, and diverse communities across the globe, building bridges through his non-profit, Beyond Barriers.

As musician Daryl Davis, who befriended numerous KKK members, powerfully states, “Today, Jeff has replaced his fight for exclusion with his love of inclusion and traded in the bullets for his people with words of equality and empowerment for all people.”

In the lectures I held at many schools, universities, churches and synagogues I always said that the most hateful and long time leaders in the movement have doubts. And that there is hope if we show compassion. Jeff was the living proof of what I preached."
