Everything about Dan Burros totally explained

Daniel "Dan" Burros (March 5, 1937 – October 31, 1965) was a former member of the American Nazi Party under former Naval commander George Lincoln Rockwell, who founded the ANP in Arlington, Virginia in 1959. After falling out with Rockwell, he became a kleagle, or recruiter, for the United Klans of America Ku Klux Klan organization in New York State. After a New York Times reporter named McCandlish Phillips revealed that Dan Burros was, in fact, Jewish, a despondent Burros committed suicide, first by shooting himself in the chest and then in the head. At the time, he was listening to music composed by Richard Wagner.

   Suspicions that Dan Burros was a Jew began during his tenure in the American Nazi Party. He would sometimes bring knish to the American Nazi Party headquarters and make statements such as "Let's eat this good Jew food!" Burros also frequently spent time with Jewish women. When Rockwell discovered that he was a Jew, he still wished to maintain a relationship with him. However, within two hours of seeing this information printed in the New York Times, Burros took his own life in the Nazi compound where he'd been staying.
   During a press conference after Burros' death, George Lincoln Rockwell railed against Jews, whom he called "... a unique people with a distinct mass of mental disorders" and ascribed Burros' instability and suicide to "this unfortunate Jewish psychosis".
   The story of Dan Burros was the origin of Henry Bean's movie, The Believer. It also inspired an episode of the TV series Lou Grant.
