It's kikeschlock anyway, so ... whatever. The books were a girl-power fantasy pile of dross.
The book, Wicked, was written by Gregory Maguire. He is gay and Wicked is some of the biggest schlock I've ever read or seen. He's not Jewish though.
The musical was made by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, both of whom are Jewish. Did you catch the hilarious line about Ronald Reagan in the musical?! Ho ho ho, it really owned those Republicans!!
The Wizard of Oz? L Frank Baum? Are you saying he was Jewish?
His last name was (((Baum))), wasn't it?
(I can't find any source today that Baum is indeed jewish, but it appeared in my list of jewish surnames when I compiled it a few years ago).
The problem is that many American Jewish names are also German names.
All evidence points to him being not religious, but raised in a Methodist family, with no Jewish ancestry.
Edit your comment?
Baum is just German for "tree."
Are there Jews named Baum? Sure. Is Baum a specifically Jewish name? No.
According to Wikipedia:
Heck, just looking through the lists of Baums, there's a freaking Waffen-SS commander named Otto Baum.
