Two Polish neo-Nazis who were childhood sweethearts and later became skinheads have discovered what for them is a shocking family secret: They're actually Jewish.

Pawel and Ola, identified only by their first names, are the subject of a CNN documentary about Poles rediscovering their Jewish roots generations after their ancestors hid their religious identities to escape persecution during World War II.

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.

"I'm not saying that I don't have regrets but it's not something that I walk around and lash myself over... I feel sorry for those that I beat up," Pawel said. "But I don't hold a grudge against myself."

Oh, I hated Jews because I wasn't one. Now I know I am one so I don't hate them.

Root of all stupidity right there. Well, I guess it's not surprising, we all already know how stupid nazis were and how stupid neo-nazis are.

And yes, if you are a neo-nazi and you are here, I am insulting you. At least, trying to.

I love it when hate filled people find out that they, in fact, are what they hate so much. Quickest way to teach them a lesson.

Judaism is the religion. "The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated." To be Jewish doesn't just mean you're a part of the religion (for most Jews at least), there is an ethnicity. That's what all these are.

peaceandlies · 26th Sep 2010, 04:23 AM

LOL. i just couldn't help laughing at the stupidity and hipocrasy

**Lexington** · 26th Sep 2010, 06:02 AM

>>>Oh, I hated Jews because I wasn't one. Now I know I am one so I don't hate them.

Even worse, the whole "oh I don't beat myself up over it". Hey, nice to know you've forgiven yourself and moved on. I'd hate to think that you'd have some sleepless nice over the hatred and violence you've doled out.

GoinStag · 26th Sep 2010, 06:13 AM

These people may act like they're embracing it but a part of me hopes they're suffering inside because of it lol it's kinda hard to believe you can give up your beliefs just like that.

27th Sep 2010, 08:51 AM

I guess it's good that they've stopped, but it still doesn't excuse their actions. If anyone should be beat up, it's the Neo-Nazis, wife-beaters, and other bullies. Not innocent people.

Miss Bubbles · 28th Sep 2010, 06:42 AM

wow shocking people are just so ridiculous
