The difference between an evangelical Christian and a full-blown Jew has become so small that someone like Stephen Smith, who has spent his entire life in the service of the Jews — promoting the Holocaust Industrial Complex™ and marrying a Jewess — decided to take the next "logical" step and convert to Judaism:

"After a life spent studying and working with the Jews, Stephen Smith became one.

You would think then that Smith, with his international reputation as a scholar and archivist of the Holocaust, would now be joining the chorus of voices warning us that antisemitism is an existential threat to American Jews.

You would be wrong. Smith's journey to Judaism has, if anything, given him insights on how to fight, and beat, antisemitism.

Smith was born and raised in Nottinghamshire, England, the son of devout evangelical Christians. On their first family trip to Israel in 1980, when he was 13, Smith was struck by the sight of Jews praying at the Western Wall.

"I thought, we came here to study the origins of Christianity. When we get here, I see Jewish people praying where Jesus of Nazareth would have come. How come I don't understand what I'm seeing?"

Ten years later, after studying Christian and Jewish theology in university, Smith considered converting to Judaism. He contacted an Orthodox rabbi, who struck him as too stringent, and a Reform rabbi, who seemed "too cold." "I was having a Goldilocks moment," he told me.

At the time, Smith decided he could do more to combat antisemitism by remaining Christian.

"This happened to the Jews," he said of the Holocaust, "but it was not the making of the Jews. This was a product of Western European civilization." His leverage, he said, came from being part of the majority.

Smith went on to create, with his brother James and their mother Marina, England's National Holocaust Museum and Centre, which he ran from 1995 until coming to Los Angeles in 2009 to head up the USC Shoah Foundation, founded in 1993 by director Steven Spielberg to preserve videotaped testimony of Holocaust survivors.

There, Smith expanded the distribution of the foundation's 56,000 Holocaust testimonies to schools around the world, collected testimony from survivors of the Rwandan and other genocides, and pioneered the use of AI and holograms for presenting survivors as if they were alive in museum settings.

After he stepped down from the USC Shoah Foundation in 2021, Smith traveled to Israel for one of by then many regular visits. This time, at the Western Wall — where he sat five decades before — something shifted.

For the first time in his life, he said, he was no longer a professional "representing six million souls," fighting antisemitism in their memory. "I thought, why do I have to sit on the outside looking when I feel a part of this history? Why wouldn't I want to be a part of this people and its history?"

When his wife Heather Maio-Smith, who is Jewish, returned from her prayers at the women's section, he turned to her and said, "I'm going to convert to Judaism."

Maio-Smith looked at her husband in shock. "What, now?" Later that day, Smith called Rabbi Neal Weinberg, a Conservative Los Angeles rabbi who offers conversion classes, and signed up...

...What changed for Smith, who now runs an AI company that he and Maio-Smith founded, wasn't an increase in actual Jewish knowledge. "I'm not saying I could have taught the conversion course," he said, "but not far off."

The change was more subtle, and more striking. "I changed my pronouns," he said, "from 'them' to 'us.'"

In the midst of his conversion process, a professor had asked him to contribute a paper to a journal on Jewish ethics. "I suddenly realized I wasn't writing about Jewish ethics," he said. "I was writing about my ethics. I was writing in the first person singular and plural, 'We have a point of view.' That was the biggest signal for me; I made a shift to an internal perspective, not an external one."

That shift informed how he thought about the rise in antisemitism. Smith said being part of the Jewish people actually made him less worried, and less afraid...

"First of all, I don't have any respect for antisemites," he said. "Whether they are overt, angry ideological antisemites or whether they are under-the-table quiet types. I don't respect them enough to waste my time on them."

The communal impulse to hide or grow defensive, understandable as it is, is exactly the wrong one, he said. "We need to be out in the world. We need to talk about the values of Judaism. We need to espouse what we have to offer to the world, because it is beautiful. It's good. It's old, as in wise and old. We have nothing to fear, and nothing to hide."

Incorporating the word "we" in his language is no small thing for Smith. It's the culmination of a journey he began at age 13. "I have never felt safer," he said. "I have never felt more protected. I have 16 million new friends who understand the world the same way that I understand it."

Smith, of all people, cannot be accused of underestimating the dangers. "If we know one thing about antisemitism," he said, "it can result in the genocide of Jewish people. We know that as an empirical fact. No one takes it more seriously than me."

But what Smith found on the inside was a community well-positioned to fend off the threat. American Jews have democracy, civil society, free speech and open society on their side, he pointed out. They have a sympathetic media and education system....

I heard Smith deliver this message to a Muslim-Jewish dialogue group, NewGround, last May, and he brought it to a Jewish-Christian gathering in Indiana the month before.

There, he spoke to some 300 people on a Thursday evening about the threat of white nationalism and increasing antisemitism. A white nationalist group, he said, "couldn't put a group of 300 people together on a Thursday night if it tried, and when they do turn up on a Sunday afternoon in a park, it's 30 of them."

Smith, in his quiet but firm English accent, said what I've long suspected: There is reason, even in light of the latest bad news, for optimism. "I think we underestimate how strong we are. I think we underestimate how powerful our community is," he told me. "We'll find that we have many, many more allies than we will ever have our enemies. And I'm saying that now as 'we.'"

Notice that nowhere in this article does Stephen Smith mention Jesus Christ — or how he decided to deny Christ in order to convert to Judaism — that apparently was no concern for him and the consequences for his eternal soul.

Instead, he's literally spent his entire life focusing on Jews and promoting the Big Lie of the Holocaust™ that he probably sees Christ and Christians as his own personal persecutors — just as the Jews do.

He replaced Christianity with Holocaustianity — substituting the suffering of the Jews in imaginary Gas Chambers™ with the suffering of Christ on the Cross.

But Smith grew up steeped in evangelical Christian Zionism — as practiced by his mother, Marina Smith, who was awarded an MBE for her tireless work in the service of Jews and Holocaust education.

Stephen Smith followed in her footsteps, proving his bona fides as a trusted "shabbos goy" — to the point that he was appointed director of Spielberg's Shoah Foundation — where he got to rub elbows with Hollywood movie stars and the rich and powerful.

He and his Jewish wife started a company that uses AI technology to create 3-D holograms of Holocaust survivors — in a vain attempt to make these survivors immortal so that they can continue to brainwash young, impressionable children long after the last survivor has died.

In 2012, the Jerusalem Post ran an article claiming that by 2027 — only four years from now — the Last Holocaust Survivor™ will have died — yet in 2017 the Jerusalem Post ran an article claiming that 43,700 survivors will still be living in Israel alone.

But given the health benefits of surviving the Holocaust, we can expect that there will be plenty of Holocaust survivors even in 2065 — 120 years after the end of World War II.

So it's no wonder Smith realized how powerful Jews are — and how they can use their power and wealth to crush his fellow "gentiles" into submission for daring to say anything critical about Jews or the Holocaust.

After his conversion to Judaism, Smith claims that he "never felt safer" — that he was "protected" — by this Jewish wealth and power surrounding him — yet despite their power most Jews continue to live in fear, thanks to the Holocaust psy-op that he promotes — so much so that at least 25% of Israeli Jews sincerely believe "another" Holocaust could happen.

The Zionists have always used the specter of the Holocaust to convince Jews to move to the "safety" of Israel — and yet by their own admission, Israel is the most dangerous country for Jews to live in — and most assimilated Jews in America have no interest in moving there.

The fact that Stephen Smith feels "safe" and "protected" is proof that he is not, nor can he ever be, a real Jew — genetic Jews are born to live in fear as paranoid neurotics — and everything they do is motivated by fear — and the greatest thing they fear is The Truth — which makes them "hostile" to all living things — as the apostle Paul said.

And as Alexander Solzhenitsyn observed, "For a Jew nothing is more insulting than the truth."

They fear that if the goyim en masse ever figure out that the Holocaust is a lie — and Holocaust denial goes viral — all their power and ability to control society will come crashing down like a house of cards.

They so fear this exposure that they have had to push for laws that make it illegal to question any aspect of their official Holocaust narrative — and throw people in jail who dare speak out about it.

Yet despite his conversion to Judaism — and his marriage to a Jew — many Jews will never accept Smith as a "real" genetic Jew — or ever truly trust him — no more than they accepted other converts like Marylin Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor or Sammy Davis Junior as "real" Jews.

He certainly will not qualify for Israeli citizenship despite his conversion — and no matter how much he promotes the Holocaust and Zionism.

In fact, a Jewish cantor in Germany was fired recently because so many Germans were converting to Judaism that she feared they would "take over" — and replace "real" Jews.

These "real" Jews hate Jesus Christ because He told them that "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me" — and that "The truth shall set you free."

But Smith has spent his life rejecting that Truth and denying Christ — just as all Jews do — instead they choose to be imprisoned in the comfortable suffocating lie of the Holocaust for worldly gain.
