The Holocaust industry - Norman G. Finkelstein

In his iconoclastic and controversial study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves
from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in
global culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust
compensation settlements. It was not until the Arab-Israeli War of 1967,
when Israel's evident strength brought it into line with US foreign
policy, that memory of the Holocaust began to acquire the exceptional
prominence it has today.

Recalling Holocaust fraudsters such as
Jerzy Kosinski and Binjamin Wilkomirski, as well as the demagogic
constructions of writers like Daniel Goldhagen, Finkelstein contends
that the main danger posed to the memory of Nazism's victims comes from
some of the very people who profess most passionately to defend it.
Drawing on a wealth of untapped sources, he exposes the double shakedown
of European countries and legitimate Jewish claimants, and concludes
that the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket.
