Holocaust-Industry
Piper Verlag won’t drop
Finkelstein
PIPER Verlag (German publishers) are going ahead with publication of the controversial book
The Holocaust Industry
by Norman Finkelstein. (Jewish leader) Salomon
Korn and Socialist Party member of parliament
Reinhold Robbe had called on the publisher not to publish the work.
In particular they had indicated that given the background of present debate about right wing violence in
German a publication could be harmful.
The publisher intends to invite the author to Germany to enable a direct debate between him and his critics.
“Finkelstein’s book is actually very polemical and pointed, but this is precisely the quality which has led to the debate.”
A translation of the book by Paul Novick, which adduces similar arguments with fewer polemics, “:The
Holocaust in American Life,” is to appear next year in the
Deutscher Verlagsanstalt.
