Leaving Hate Behind

The Agenda with Steve Paikin

View Transcript

Elizabeth Moore was a teenager growing up in Scarborough in the early 1990s when she became a neo-Nazi. Eventually she started questioning her beliefs and reached out to Bernie Farber, then head of the Canadian Jewish Congress. He taught her about the Holocaust and helped her leave her far-right beliefs behind. Both join The Agenda to share their story.
