A prominent English neo-Nazi quit the movement, acknowledged his Jewish roots, and came out as gay

Kevin Wilshaw was active in neo-Nazi groups for decades. But now he says he has left the movement and has opened up about his Jewish roots and his gay identity.

  • Kevin Wilshaw was active in extreme right circles ever since he was 18
  • Feeling guilty about his past, he has come out as gay and part-Jewish, and now denounces the neo-Nazi movement

In a stunning tell-all interview with Parac O'Brien of Channel 4 News, longtime neo-Nazi organizer Kevin Wilshaw announced that he had left the movement, said he identifies himself as gay, and revealed that his mother is Jewish.

Wilshaw said he had been active in fascist circles in Britain ever since his teens, citing social alienation and a lack of friends for his turn toward the neo-Nazi movement.

Wilshaw applied to join the National Front and the World Union of National Socialists, two well-known neo-Nazi organizations, shortly after he turned 18. He became a major organizer with the National Front, which operates as a fascist party in the UK.

He did so even though his mother was part Jewish. Wilshaw said he was able to disentangle his mother's heritage from his hatred of Jews in general.
