German journalist LeaRosh was the driving force behind the memorial.
LeaRosh, 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.
Further, it was discovered that the foundation managing the construction as well as LeaRosh had known about Degussa's involvement for at least a year, but had not done anything to stop it.
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.
