Survivors come second

Jewish historian Norman Finkelstein writes:

“In The Holocaust Industry I documented the World Jewish Congress’s double shakedown of Swiss banks and Nazi holocaust victims. The mastermind of this plot was a repellent sewer rat named Rabbi Israel Singer who headed the World Jewish Congress. In the appendix to the second paperback edition of my book I stated that Singer won’t be stopped ‘unless he is finally put where he belongs, behind bars.’ It seems that day might not be so far off. In the past year it has been reported that while denouncing the Swiss banks for using secrecy laws to deny Jews access to their Holocaust-era accounts, Singer himself opened up a secret Swiss bank account where he was squirreling away monies pilfered from the World Jewish Congress. Now it seems that the House of Hucksters is beset with yet new scandals.”

Jewish newspaper, The Forward, explains:

“The World Jewish Congress is fighting to block publication in Switzerland of a series of magazine articles [by journalist Daniel Ganzfried] that reportedly will contain damaging new allegations about the organization’s management and handling of funds.

“Ganzfried, the Swiss journalist, has been sharply critical of Jewish communal efforts to win back Holocaust-era assets, which have roiled Swiss Jews’ relations with their neighbours. He said his upcoming articles will be aimed at documenting the shortcomings in that process.”

Despite years of abuse, Finkelstein’s initial thesis is being confirmed yet again. Leading Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg has supported Finkelstein’s analysis of Jewish organisations’ mismanagement and cynicism while trying to negotiate lost funds:

“When I read Finkelstein’s book, The Holocaust Industry, at the time of its appearance, I was in the middle of my own investigations of these matters, and I came to the conclusion that he was on the right track. I refer now to the part of the book that deals with the claims against the Swiss banks, and the other claims pertaining to forced labour. I would now say in retrospect that he was actually conservative, moderate and that his conclusions are trustworthy. He is a well-trained political scientist, has the ability to do the research, did it carefully, and has come up with the right results. I am by no means the only one who, in the coming months or years, will totally agree with Finkelstein’s breakthrough.”

The latest scandal merely confirms Finkelstein’s allegations against one of the world’s leading Zionist organisations. Their primary interest is not the Holocaust victims themselves, rather obtaining financial reward and spending the money as they see fit, either for themselves or on Zionist projects in Israel.
