Revision as of 15:51, 25 October 2003 by Viajero (talk | contribs) (salon.com --> ''salon.com'')(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Holocaust Industry is a book by Norman G. Finkelstein, an American political scientist. He contends that leaders of the Jewish community inappropriately use the Holocaust to whip up fear of anti-Semitism, in order to raise money and boost support for Israel.
Finkelstein believes that many American Jews are not practising Judaism, and have replaced it with mere fear of anti-Semitism and fund-raising for Jewish causes. His book has been criticised by some other scholars as being exaggerated.
