quote [ Inside he found a heavy metal cube and a crumpled message, a provocative note wrapped around a stone that came crashing through the window of history. It read, "Taken from Germany, from the nuclear reactor Hitler tried to build. Gift of Ninninger." ]
There was a big rejection of "Jewish Science" in Germany,in the 20s. There's a reason why Einstein got his Nobel a year late. It was no accident that so many of the brilliant people who worked on The Manhattan Project were Jews, who had fled Nazi persecution. Makes me wonder how many equally brilliant men and women died in the camps after failing to escape.
