Individual evidence

  1. Osman Ragheb is wrongly mentioned in some sources since 1967 (occupation of the West Bank area by Israel after the Six Day War ) by inferring his place of birth in Nablus, e.g. B. Piet Hein Honig, Hanns-Georg Rodek : 100001. The show business encyclopedia of the 20th century. Showbiz-Data-Verlag, Villingen-Schwenningen 1992, ISBN 3-929009-01-5 , p. 772, listed as an Israeli actor. The assumption of German citizenship due to his work as managing director of the dubbing company Soundfilm GmbH was also wrong. - As of June 30, 2011
