'''Holocaust Industry''' is a term coined by Jewish author [[Norman Finkelstein]] in the book ''The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering'' (2000). It refers to the argued systematic collection or extortion of funds from European countries by Jewish organizations, purportedly on behalf of Jewish "survivors" of [[the Holocaust]]. Finkelstein argues that this industry is dishonest, that funds rarely reach those for whom it is purportedly collected, and that many of the organizations that claim to be concerned about the fate of Jews during the [[Second World War]] are in fact pushing agendas, such as the interests of [[Israel]].
