Michael Enoch Isaac Peinovich[1] (born 1977),[2] more commonly known as Mike Enoch, is an American neo-Nazi,[3][4] antisemitic conspiracy theorist, Holocaust denier,[5] 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.[6][7]

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.[5] Prior to the dox, Enoch's wife had appeared as a guest on The Daily Shoah, in which she had concealed her ethnicity while promoting antisemitic memes.[6]

In addition to his founding of a neo-Nazi media network, Enoch has drawn attention for his role in organizing book burnings.[7]
