Hamburg woman recalls days as Beatles Auntie Rosa
Rosa Hoffman, now 87, fondly recalls cooking and cleaning for the Beatles during their 1960 61 Hamburg engagements above the Top Ten club on the Reeperbahn. She says she woke them, fed them, and nicknamed several members while noting the era’s frenzied fan attention and changing club scene.
