[edit] Name

In 1998, Rosh proved that here birth name was in fact "Edith Rosh", not "Rohs" as sometimes asserted. She therefore had only her first name changed, not her last name. cf. [1], [2] --85.180.130.221 19:06, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Bullshit removed: She tried to sue all people who made reports of her name change, and still publicly denies that she has changed her name, although it is proved by legal records. - Facts are: She never denied having her first name changed. She in fact sued people who made false reports of her last name changed, which is just and equitable. These two things must not be mixed up. --85.180.179.73 01:24, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Musical Show

At the moment, she is completing a libretto for the musical show There's No Business Like Shoah Business, which is to be performed in 2006 at the Theater des Westens in Berlin. Removed, since there is no proof to be found for this story, which is most presumably a hoax. The alleged composer of the project, Wolfgang Rihm is no composer of Musicals at all, which makes the story even more untrustworthy. --85.180.130.221 19:06, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] JEW

If she is Jewish you should add this to the article--80.230.210.254 22:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

She is not. --FordPrefect42 23:06, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

She only pretends to be. Catholic from Berlin 17:41, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

In fact she never did. --FordPrefect42 07:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

She want people to believe it and tries to make the impression by changing her name to a Jewish sounding name. In German, there is a word for this: Namensschwindler (usually such ridiculous people adopt "noble-sounding" names to make the impression they are nobles). Catholic from Berlin 13:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Please cite the sources for your claims. As to my knowledge she has never been unclear about the fact that she is not jewish. --FordPrefect42 13:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Even the German Wikipedia state that "Spätere Berichte über ihre „Namensänderung“ zu einem jüdisch klingenden Namen versuchte sie zunächst gerichtlich zu verbieten, verlor ihre Klage jedoch. In Zeitungsberichten bestreitet sie die Namensänderungen gleichwohl noch in Gegendarstellungen." It is irrelevant whether she says she is Jewish or not, the purpose of the name is to make an impression. Ms. Edith Rohs aka "Lea Rosh" has been widely criticized for this in German press. Even representatives of the Jewish community are very critical because she is abusing them for her "Selbstinszenierung". Catholic from Berlin 14:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

It is out of question that she has changed her first name(s). She has proven though that she never had changed her last name. Now please end this edit-war and stop vandalising the article. --FordPrefect42 14:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Important would be to find the source of the courtcase to see if the "jewishsounding" or just the namechange was the issue in the libel action. Agathoclea 14:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
