"Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead (Story as Told to Jody M. Roy, Ph.D.)" is a gripping narrative of Frank Meeink's journey into the depths of the neo-Nazi underworld in America, and his subsequent emergence from a life filled with hatred and substance abuse. Growing up in a violent environment in South Philadelphia set Frank on a path towards hatred, and his struggles with addiction left him vulnerable to the influence of a few skinhead gang recruiters. By the age of 16, he had risen to prominence as a leading figure among skinhead gangs on the East Coast, and by 18, he was serving a lengthy prison sentence. Inside prison, his interactions with minorities led him to question his long-held prejudices. Tune in to discover what led him to renounce his neo-Nazi group and eventually embrace Judaism. Frank's story is as powerful an example of personal redemption and teshuva (returning/repentance) that you're ever going to hear.
