The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering was published in 2000. In this work Finkelstein argues that Elie Wiesel and others exploit the memory of the Holocaust as an “ideological weapon”. Their purpose, writes Finkelstein, is to enable Israel, “one of the world’s most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, [to] cast itself as a victim state”; that is, to provide Israel “immunity to criticism”. He alleges a “double shakedown” practiced by “a repellent gang of plutocrats, hoodlums and hucksters” seeking enormous legal damages and financial settlements from Germany and Switzerland, moneys which then go to the lawyers and institutional actors involved in procuring them rather than actual Holocaust survivors.
