He contends that leaders of the Jewish community inappropriately use the Holocaust to seek reparations from European governments, and that actual Holocaust survivors, including his own mother, are getting little.

Quotes

"I believe he is pathetic. I simply don't accept him as a researcher." -Elan Steinberg, Executive Director of the World Jewish Congress

"When I read Finkelstein's book, The Holocaust Industry, at the time of its appearance, I was in the middle of my own investigations of these matters, and I came to the conclusion that he was on the right track. I refer now to the part of the book that deals with the claims against the Swiss banks, and the other claims pertaining to forced labor." -Respected Historianr Raul Hilberg, author of The destruction of the European jews - a standard text
