THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS — A Dallas woman hoping to help
her teen-age son, a self-described white su
premacist, has introduced him to a former
grand dragon who renounced his past.
Larry Trapp of Lincoln, Neb., a former
grand dragon of the White Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan, told The Dallas Morning News in
Sunday's editions he agreed to meet the Jew
ish boy, identified only as Eric.
His mother, who took him to a Lincoln syn
agogue to meet Trapp, also introduced him to
Michael Weisser, the cantor leading the ser
vice.
Eric's mother wanted him to hear how Can
tor Weisser and his wife, Julie, had befriended
Trapp, taken him into their home and con
quered his hatred with their love.
Trapp, now a blind diabetic, said that by ac
cepting Eric as the Weissers had aided him, he
would tfy to save the 16-year-old boy from
"making the same mistakes I made."
Although the teen was raised Jewish for
most of his life, he said he hated Jews, as well
as blacks and "Mexicans" and counts at least
one skinhead among his friends.
Eric's experience is typical of youths who
gravitate toward white supremacists, said
Mark Briskman, regional director of the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
He said many react to frustrations caused
by unresolved conflicts within their families
by turning to hatemongers.
In Eric's case, his home was torn apart in a
bitter divorce in which his parents ''onMnue to
battle over custody of him and his sister, who
is now 13, according to the newspaper. While
Eric's mother is Jevyish, his father is Catholic.
The parents separated when Eric was five

parents. [Instead] he ended up in
the middle of nowhere — with a

Eric, who then alternated living with each of
his parents in a succession of homes, began in
the ninth grade to hate minorities when he
was staying with his father, who was unhappy
his son was raised in a Jewish home.
