What happened in Germany during the rise of the Third Reich is correctly referred to as a pogrom. But in using that proper term one necessarily refers to a number of victim categories, including Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, habitual criminals, the insane and hopelessly disabled, disloyal Germans, communists and Catholics, all of whom were eventually identified, arrested and sent to concentration camps.
But Professor Norman Finkelstein, himself a Jew whose parents survived the pogrom, explains in his controversial book,
The Holocaust Industry, that the term
Holocaust was adopted by Zionists to achieve the obvious and specific purpose of implicitly assigning exclusive ownership of the exceptional victim status imparted by the Nazi pogrom to Jews.
The effort has been undeniably successful because the word
holocaust is now capitalized in common usage and is universally associated with Jews and their status as victims. The world has effectively forgotten that it was not only Jews who suffered in the Nazi pogrom.
Professor Finkelstein, who now is popularly denounced by Zionists as a "self-hating Jew," goes on to explain how the so-called
Holocaust is being perpetuated by a surreptitiously active and exceptionally effective public relations campaign which maintains
Holocaust museums in nearly every major city in the developed world, including three in Manhattan, one of which is taxpayer funded. For a list of these museums, go here:
