It's funny because I was just listening to a cd a friend gave me featuring Menuhin. So from this post I looked up his history and his families history! Yehudi, which means Jew, was anti Zionist. As many Jews were during the 30s and 40s. The ant Zionism roots stem from the disagreement over religion. Political solutions could never make Israel only a messiah can do that. Yehudi's great great grandfather was the founder of Chabad hassidim.

I can imagine the son, Gerard doesn't get a lot of calls from Hollywood personalities.

Yehudi played one of the best violins in the world the Soil Stradivarius! I wonder where it is now.

But what a bombshell this book must be. I plan on getting it I wish my parents were not so old to enjoy it.
