Oops: Skinheads find out that they’re Jewish

Something is fishy (Gefilte fishy?) about this story though…

A few years ago, Ola found out from Warsaw’s Jewish Historical Institute that both she and her husband are technically Jews. “It was unbelievable — it turned out that we had Jewish roots. It was a shock,” she said.

At the time, she and Pawel were active in Warsaw’s neo-Nazi movement. “I was a nationalist 100 percent. Back then when we were skinheads it was all about white power… that Jews were the biggest plague and the worst evil of this world,” Pawel said.

Both 33, they’ve now embraced their Jewish identity and are active in their local orthodox synagogue.

uh… They’re practicing Jews now?… huh? How do you go from “that inferior race needs to be wiped off the planet” to praying in Hebrew? hmmm. meh. whatever. still amusing…
