The Holocaust Industry

"The Holocaust Industry" is a term coined by scholars to criticize the way some organizations and individuals, particularly within Jewish communities, leverage the Holocaust for financial gain, political influence, or social capital. The critique suggests that this focus can sometimes distort historical memory, overshadow other issues, or lead to exploitation of past suffering for contemporary purposes. The concept encourages reflection on the ethics of how tragedy is remembered and used, emphasizing the importance of respectful remembrance without turning past atrocities into tools for profit or manipulation.
