Norman Finkelstein, an American Jewish scholar, is one of the world’s leading experts on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the political legacy of the Nazi holocaust in which, apart from his parents, every member of Finkelstein’s family, on both sides, was exterminated.
His 2000 book "The Holocaust Industry", which was serialised in The Guardian, became an international best-seller and touched off a firestorm of debate.[1]
In September 2007, after a highly publicised feud between Finkelstein and an academic opponent, Alan Dershowitz, Finkelstein resigned his professorship at DePaul University, Chicago.[2][3]
In 2008, Finkelstein was banned from entering Israel for 10 years.[4]
