The Holocaust Industry

In this book, Norman G. Finkelstein argues that the memory of the Holocaust has been exploited by the American Jewish establishment to enhance the status of Israel and deflect criticism of its policies.

He contends that this 'Holocaust industry' has corrupted Jewish culture and the authentic memory of the Holocaust.

Finkelstein documents economic exploitation, including the extraction of compensation from European countries, which he describes as an outright extortion racket.

He also critiques the role of the U.S.

in facilitating this exploitation and argues that the industry's primary concern is not the compensation of needy Holocaust survivors but rather the enrichment of law firms, consultants, politicians, and industry elites.
