The former white supremacist who was the main inspiration behind Ed Norton's character in American History X has discovered that he has Jewish heritage following a DNA test.Now aged 48, Meeink is an observant Jew who prays three times daily while wearing a tefillin, goes to Torah study classes, attends the Synagogue, and keeps kosher.
Meeink claims that finding out he was Jewish helped him through his darkest days following the death of his son Josh when he was just 19, the breakdown of his marriage, and the death of his mother from a fentanyl overdose. Growing up he was surrounded by black families and claims he felt like an outcast and when he was introduced to neo-Nazism he signed right up claiming that it ‘justified all of my fears’.
