German journalist Lea Rosh was the driving force behind the memorial.
Lea Rosh, who also supported an exclusion of Degussa, answered to this, that "the boundary is completely clear, Zyklon B" In the discussions, that followed, several things were discovered.

 Controversial Holocaust Monument Going Up in Berlin
Rosh, and the group she heads, halted construction of the monument in late October when she learned that Degussa had played a role in providing the Zyklon B gas that supposedly killed an untold number of Jews during the war.
Her real name is Edith Lea Rosch, according to the historian David Irving, who says she changed her name "many years ago when she realized that the path to a successful career in postwar Germany was to have Jewish origins.
Asked about the faked photograph, Rosh spokesman Schulze-Rohr said: "We don't know anything about that." Rosh, he said, was in a conference and would not be available for many days, even on her mobile phone.

Lea Rosh, head of the Foundation for the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, has taken on a task that is anything but easy.
So, Lea Rosh and the specialists from the holocaust industry know very well that the public is drifting towards the conviction "the holocaust never happened", despite that this claim is illegal in Germany and punishable with jail.

Lea Rosh is one of these Germans who, despite their seemingly good intentions, spread a mistaken message about Germany and its memory.
Everything about Rosh is a little over the top, from her big hair and booming voice to her big ideas to her big tombstone of a memorial, everything is excessive.
A former talkshow host, Rosh created the documentary Der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland (Death is the Master in Germany) with Eberhard Jackel.

 Part 1: From Rosh's Idea to Kohl's Veto
According to Jane Kramer, Rosh, whose maternal grandfather was a Berlin Jew, believes that identification with Jewishness is her German duty, and the journalist has taken this obligation so seriously that she has even legally changed her name from Edith to Lea.
Rosh is, in Kramer’s words, “unnervingly enthusiastic” on the subject of Jewish suffering.
Two weeks after the Berlin Senate’s decision, Rosh founded the Sponsor Circle for the Erection of a Memorial for the Murdered Jews of Europe, a title that made the group’s intentions perfectly clear and strengthened its position against other groups of victims fighting to be included.

Rosh set out to quickly realize the idea, a monument she was convinced should be located in a highly visible location in Berlin.
Rosh is hopeful that the monument will not only keep the memory of the Holocaust's victims alive but that the debate will remain lively too, when, for example, school classes from Germany or abroad visit the memorial.

Lea Rosh, head of the Foundation for the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, said she hopes to raise $2.18 million in donations.
The memorial, to be constructed later this year not far from Berlin's landmark Brandenburg Gate, was designed by the American architect Peter Eisenmann, who wanted to give visitors a sense of unease and loneliness as they wandered in a field of concrete blocks the size of four soccer pitches.
The memorial is due to open by January 27, 2004—the anniversary of the 1945 liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp by Soviet troops advancing west.

After Kohl publicly announces his support for a Holocaust memorial in Berlin, an open competition is launched by the government, the city of Berlin and Rosh's group.
Some 523 proposals are submitted from mainly German artists, ranging from a series of bus tours to a Star-of-David-shaped field of yellow flowers to a giant, empty jar symbolizing the blood of the murdered.
Rosh, who is not Jewish, disagrees with this move arguing that the memorial should be built by non-Jewish Germans.

 Fresh Row Erupts Over Holocaust Memorial | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 12.05.2005
During the formal inauguration ceremony in the German capital earlier this week, Lea Rosh announced her intention to have both the tooth of a Jew murdered at the Belzec concentration camp and a yellow "Jew" star placed in one of the memorial's concrete stelae.
She told the audience that she had been given the star by a woman in Amsterdam whose mother was killed in a Nazi death camp, and that in incorporating it into the memorial, she would be making good on a promise.
Rosh responded to Spiegel's comments by saying that she had spoken to both the architect of the project, Peter Eisenman and to a Rabi about her intentions, but the Holocaust Memorial Foundation, which has not stated its position, says that Rosh has not yet requested permission to press ahead with her plans.

Berlin -Germany's new Holocaust memorial was dogged by controversy on Thursday as it opened to the public, with Jewish leaders bitterly opposing plans to insert a victim's tooth into a stone at the site.
Berlin's Jewish community is threatening to boycott the memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe over the proposal by Lea Rosh, a German TV journalist who played a leading role in the 17-year campaign to have the memorial built.
Rosh held up the tooth during her speech at the opening ceremony on Tuesday, saying she had found it at the Nazi death camp in Belzec, Poland, 17 years ago and it had inspired her to push for a permanent memorial to the six million Jews killed by the Nazis.

Lobbying for the memorial started in 1988, but the project was repeatedly held up by disputes over its location, design, cost, building materials and a demand by the German parliament for an information center to be incorporated at the site.
Lea Rosh, head of the Foundation for the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe which campaigned for the monument, said it was not surprising Germany had taken so long.

 j. - Holocaust memorial proceeds, over Kohl's objections
Kohl took exception to the "gigantic size" of the proposed monument, a tombstone 330 feet long and 330 feet high, displaying the engraved names of the 4.2 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust whose identities are known.
The federal government has agreed in principle to provide the grounds for the monument and $3.5 million, but it is not clear where the rest of the money will come from.
Rosh suggested that the public be asked to "adopt" names of Holocaust victims in exchange for a contribution, but Bubis objected, saying that amounted to commercial trading in Holocaust memories.

Lea Rosh, a member of the oversight committee, rejected the suggestion that enforcing the ban on Degussa meant scrapping the memorial.

The foundation charged with the construction of a high-profile monument to Jews killed by the Nazis during the Second World War announced on Saturday work had been stopped indefinitely as it sought a replacement for Degussa, which was to coat the memorial to protect it against graffiti.
According to reports in the German media, foundation board member Lea Rosh said that contracting Degussa could offend many Holocaust survivors, since the company's former subsidiary Degesch supplied "Zyklon B" hydrogen cyanide gas pellets to Nazi concentration camps.
Rosh, however, remained optimistic the delay would not be very long.
