Samoa's Prime Minister Schmidt has issued a public apology following the emergence of a video from 2007 showing him performing a Nazi salute at a private family gathering.1 The seven-second clip, recorded in July 2007, depicts Schmidt directing approximately twelve people to raise their right hands while saying "Heil Hitler."1 At the time the video was filmed, he held the position of deputy speaker of parliament.1
In his statement, Schmidt acknowledged that his words and gestures were inappropriate and potentially offensive to others, emphasizing that the video was recorded during a private event and not intended for public distribution.1 He declared: "I reject Nazism, antisemitism, racism and all forms of political extremism."1 Schmidt, who took office as Samoa's eighth Prime Minister in September 2025 and carries both Samoan and German heritage, wore a Jewish prayer shawl at his inauguration to signal that Samoa "stands with Israel."1
