Devastating Charges Against the Shoah Business
September 12, 2009 Holocaustism
Edwin Black writes in a web exclusive, “Holocaust `Industry’ More About Money Than Memory” in the NY Jewish Week that,
Assets are now part of almost every Holocaust discussion. Zionists are compared to Nazis everywhere by anti-Semites and opponents of the existence of the State of Israel. Holocaust remembrance has become a business. The survivors’ efforts at recovering assets or restitution have been expropriated by national and international organizations claiming to speak for them and then pretending to pay homage to them. Hence, we witness the spectacle of thousands of survivors in Brooklyn and Miami and elsewhere living at or near the poverty level. My Dad in Palm Beach has nothing but a roof over his head. But the well-heeled movers and shakers of communal remembrance travel first class, create vibrant websites, and talk the talk… all on their “fair share” of the diverted recovered assets or restitution of the actual survivors.Every day the survivors, in their newsletters and online exchanges, rail against the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for sequestering their access to the all-revealing Bad Arolsen archives while tiny Luxembourg, with few survivors, just gained a full copy. No one listens.
In addition to usurping a Jewish tragedy and using it as a trump card to create franchise after franchise of fundraising opportunities, these scam artists also hijack Jewish communal policy.
It is long past time for them to go.
Their assets should be liquidated, given to survivors and their families internationally, and all federal and state lands returned to the U.S. government.

Okay, but must you call it “shoah business?” Even if you are right and it is that for some, it is not that for most.
TM, it is for those implicated.
there’s no business like shoah business.
I agree with TM.
When good people like HalfSours and TM flinch at criticizing the hustlers, they help to enable them.

We probably help the terrorist win too.
So it appears Norman Finkelstein wasn’t, as accused, making all of this up out of whole cloth. Perhaps apologies are in order.
Norman Finkelstein is one of the key beneficiaries of “Holocaust Business,” dude. Do you know how much money his father got in reparations? Finkelstein just got pissed off when his mom didn’t get much in the way of reparations and instead of blaming the Europeans, he blamed the Jews. Apologies are indeed in order, for the hatred against Jews and Israel he goes spreading around after he grew up on Holocaust survivor money.
