Controversy

Because a number as right-wing extremist or nationalistic classified utterances he was relieved on 12 November 2005 by the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation Germany of his duties as chairman. The managing director of the Foundation, Winfried Kneip had levied against Menuhin an allegation of “xenophobic attitude“. They disapproved of “naming our foundation and their action in a media institution which [...] is the 'right-wing extremist environment' attributable‘“. Attracted by press reports, among others, Spiegel Online had experienced the Foundation that Gerard Menuhin the National Zeitung had given interviews, there as an author of a column of the title "Menuhin and how he sees the world" acts and also in the NPD newspaper German voice expresses.

In his book Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil Menuhin wrote: “The Holocaust is the biggest lie in history. Germany has no blame for the Second World War.” He also makes a case for Adolf Hitler being the only statesman in the modern era who could have liberated the enslaved people of planet Earth from the clutches of organized world Zionism. He writes: “I suppose it began with a sense, nothing more. Not even a vague sentiment, let alone the certitude that what the average child is taught about major historical events is a pack of lies. It was just a lurking mental itch. My father never spoke of the war, any more than he spoke of anything negative or disagreeable or, indeed, about the past at all, if he could help it. I never gave the subject much thought, occupied as I was with my daily drudgery, until the Nineties, when, while I was ordering the contents of my deceased grandparents’ house, I chanced on a copy of the National Zeitung, the patriotic German newspaper to which my grandfather had contributed a column for several years during the Sixties. Due to the exceptional nature of the twelve years of National Socialism, a large and growing body of lurid fiction and alleged fact has materialized, based on its dramatic superficialities rather than on any study or comprehension of its socialist policies, and inspired by a particular agenda. Sobriety rejects sensationalism. A perusal of reputable historical sources, some of them quite hard to find, helped me to form my own opinion. The most powerful persuasion, however, did not come from the rather dry accounts in my reading, but from the perfectly straightforward deduction that a people with the traditions and culture of the Germans did not almost overnight become barbarians and commit mass murder.”

"Alone the fact that one may not question the Jewish “holocaust” and that Jewish pressure has inflicted laws on democratic societies to prevent questions—while incessant promotion and indoctrination of the same averredly incontestable ‘holocaust’ occur—gives the game away. It proves that it must be a lie. Why else would one not be allowed to question it? Because it might offend the “survivors”? Because it “dishonors the dead”? Hardly sufficient reason to outlaw discussion. No, because the exposure of this leading lie might precipitate questions about so many other lies and cause the whole ramshackle fabrication to crumble."

Given the Jewish origin of the family and of the humanist Yehudi Menuhin's commitment, the public response to the forced resignation Gerard Menuhin at home and abroad was considerable. Because of the threat of Credit Suisse, ultimately as an important sponsor of the foundation set support, Menuhin joined in June 2007 as president of the Swiss Menuhin Foundation Grenchen with regard to the continued existence of the institution back. Gerard Menuhin told his brother Jeremy had promised to take up the post.
