Norman Finkelstein AKA Norman Gary Finkelstein Born: 8-Dec-1953 Birthplace: Brooklyn, NY
Gender: Male Religion: Jewish Race or Ethnicity: White Occupation: Scholar Nationality: United States Executive summary: The Holocaust Industry Both parents are survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto, his father entering Auschwitz and his mother Maidanek Concentration Camp. His opponents paint Finkelstein as a Holocaust denier, though he is not -- he opposes exploitation of the Holocaust for personal or political gain. Alan Dershowitz successfully lobbied to get him denied tenure from his position at DePaul University, despite being published and having very high ratings from student evaluations. All that being stated, it is not difficult to locate extremely offensive things Finkelstein has said, and he inexplicably considers Holocaust-denying David Irving a "good historian." Father: Zacharias Finkelstein Mother: Maryla Husyt Brother: Henry Brother: Richard
