Finkelstein presents a widely discussed, highly controversial critique of how Holocaust-related narratives are commercially and politically leveraged. Drawing on carefully sourced claims, the book addresses financial extortion and cover-ups involving Swiss banks, and adds a new appendix challenging an influential defense of the industry. The edition also includes multiple assessments from prominent reviewers emphasizing its polemical tone and provocation.","A bestseller throughout Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas, and already translated into sixteen languages, The Holocaust Industry was hailed by the Guardian newspaper in London as “the most controversial book of the year”when it was originally published in 2000. In a devastating postscript for this second paperback edition, Norman G. Finkelstein documents the Holocaust industry’s scandalous cover-up of the blackmail of Swiss banks, and in a new appendix demolishes an influential apologia for the Holocaust industry.  \n“. . . its courageous attacks on the financial extortions of groups like the W [orld]J [ewish]C [ongress] are of great importance and, one hopes, will have an impact. Its strident tone, attacked by most of the book’s hostile critics, strikes me as highly appropriate, especially given the author’s careful sourcing of most of his claims.” – Professor William Rubenstein, University of Wales  \n“These fraudsters need to be unmasked, and Finkelstein believes that he is theman to do it. In 150 short pages he sets out to expose their machinations. If his indictment is a true one, it should prompt prosecutions, sackings, protest. The book shouts scandal. It is a polemic, communicated at maximum volume.” – The Times  \n“. . . Finkelstein has raised some important and uncomfortable issues . . . examples cited . . . can be breathtaking in their angry accuracy and irony.” – Jewish Quarterly  \n“Into this minefield, through which most have trodden perhaps a little too gingerly, has burst Norman Finkelstein, a Jew and a self-professed iconoclast, heretic and enemy of the American-Jewish establishment – and he is lobbing grenades.” – The Spectator  \n“. . . a short, sharp and copiously noted polemic.” – Times Higher Educational Supplement  \n“Finkelstein is at his best when he skewers those who would sacralize the Holocaust.” – Los Angeles Times Book Review  \n“. . . his basic argument that the memories of the Holocaust are being debased is serious and should be given its due.” – The Economist  \n“. . . clever, explosive, sometimes even wryly funny.” – Salon  \n“This is, in short, a lucid, provocative and passionate book. Anyone with an open mind and an interest in the subject should ignore the critical brickbats and read what Finkelstein has to say.” – New Statesman  \n“. . . his allegations that some people are getting fat off the business sounds plausible and, if he is prepared to back it up, worth saying.” – Jewish Chronicle  \n“He deserves to be heard . . . he is making some profound points that many younger and more thoughtful Jews have quietly been attempting to debate, but whose voices have been stilled by the establishment, particularly in the US.” – Evening Standard  \n“Finkelstein’s downright pugilistic book delivers a wallop – mostly because few authors have had the courage or nerve to say, as he does, that the Nazi genocide has been distorted and robbed of its true moral lessons and instead has been put to use as ‘an indispensable ideological weapon.’ It’s a provocative thesis that makes you want to reject it even as you are compelled to keep reading by the strength of his case and the bravura of his assertions.” – LA Weekly  \n“Finkelstein should be credited for writing a well-researched book that can help shut down the Holocaust Industry when the public becomes aware of its dishonesty and its vulgar exploitation of Jewish suffering.” – Z Magazine  \n“He is scathing in his denunciation of the institutions and individuals who have cropped up around the issue of reparations in the last several years.” – New York Press  \n“The reality of the Nazi holocaust remains. Memory can still enable us to recognise new victims, extend sensitivity and monitor signs of impending genocide. Books like The Holocaust Industry can help us if we let them.” – Red Pepper  \nNorman G. Finkelstein currently teaches political science at DePaul University in Chicago.
