Source-derived summary

Michael Enoch Isaac Peinovich (born 1977), more commonly known as Mike Enoch, is an American neo-Nazi, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier, blogger, and podcast host. He founded the alt-right media network The Right Stuff and podcast The Daily Shoah. Through his work, Enoch ridicules African Americans, Jews, and other minorities, advocates racial discrimination, and promotes conspiracy theories such as Holocaust denial and white genocide.

In early 2017, while operating his antisemitic media network under his pseudonym, Enoch was doxxed by fellow neo-Nazis. Most notably, the dox revealed that the neo-Nazi Enoch was married to a Jewish woman, and that their wedding had featured traditional Jewish rites and chanting. According to Salon.com, prior to the dox, Enoch's wife had appeared as a guest on The Daily Shoah to promote antisemitic memes.

In addition to his founding of a neo-Nazi media network, Enoch has drawn attention for his role in organizing book burnings.

Early life

Enoch was born as Michael Enoch Isaac Peinovich of Norwegian and Serbian descent. His mother was the president of the National Labour College, while his father was a professor of Old English at the University of Pennsylvania. His parents divorced when he was young.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
