In his latest book, Pankaj Mishra controversially positions the remembrance of the Holocaust as a root cause of today's global turmoil. He critiques Jewish leaders for perpetuating what he calls 'atrocity hucksterism', which he believes highlights the Holocaust as the pinnacle of evil. Mishra’s obsessive perspective, stemming from an early fascination with Jewish identity and culture, transforms into a disparaging view of Israel and its implications for Western moral failures. The book presents a complex intertwining of personal reflection and broader societal critique, challenging conventional narratives surrounding Jewish history and suffering.
Pankaj Mishra argues in his new book that the sanctification of the Holocaust by Jewish leaders and their supporters is a key source of the world's problems.
Mishra's fixation on the Holocaust leads him to view Israel as a symptom of a deeper malaise within Western society, equating it with global suffering.
