The Manhattan Project: The Jewish Refugees Who Raced To Build The Atomic Bomb | Timeline

- This is the story of a band of six geniuses whose names carry meaning to this day. The research and scientific achievements of John von Neumann, Edward Teller, Eugene Paul Wigner, and Leo Szilard were vital in the invention of the atomic bomb and modern warfare as we know it. Robert Capa became the world’s most famous war photographer. And Michael Curtiz’s film “Casablanca” is considered to be one of the most iconic propaganda films of all time.
Individually and collectively, each of these Hungarian Jews declared war on totalitarianism. Each in their own way, but all with the same goal, the same mission, and the same enemy. None of them wanted to give Europe up without a fight.

Amazing men and an amazing story 👍
A movie theater in hometown. Every Valentines Day would run Casablanca from opening until closing. Such memories. The World will always welcome Lovers.
So the organizers thought the scientists couldn’t figure out the big picture on their own? These are genius-level individuals.
Oppenheimer knew the big picture from the start, but he resigned himself for the necessity of it. He saw the test and knew what they created, it would be used so there is no way to stop it.
I picked out two blaring mistakes.
1) At around the 3-5 minute mark, the narrator said the Japanese attacked the US Air Base...I thought it was a naval base, with supporting aircraft.
2) The narrator said the D-day attack was on July 6, but it was obviously June 6. This error was the first time that the invasion was mentioned, 3/4 through the the Doc.
Anyone else pick up on this. 😮
And folks will believe anything they’re presented with at first blush for the most part
3) Teller died at the age of 95. Although I wouldn't call that mistake so blaring as the previous two, but considering the fact that he was one of the men the documentary was focusing on, it would have been nice to get the biographical information right.
What a coincidental timing for this documentary.
Or not
1776. Now on April 8 we get the eclipse again. I think it's very interesting. I'm not saying I'm a profit or that I can even spell it but 7 years ago we got a sign like this and a seven years we have known this second sign is coming this April and there is an x involved. Civil war possibly and there may not even be an election this fall
Came here to say to say just this. And unsubbing
Ok. This is good but the narrator has mistakenly quoted wrong dates quite a few times. I point this out as this is how history gets murky to those who didn't have the luxury of talking to those who were there or read the daily newspapers of the day. This is a point I can't make strongly enough. We have enough folks out here trying to rewrite history as it is. My opinion.
These scientists would of worked on nuclear research even without the war. The war just sped up the research which quickened the development of the atomic work.
Excellent analysis.
conditions during/after ww2 have led us to the next WW. We haven't learned anything since.
Well presented
I’m sure the comments section will be very nice and philo-semitic.
🙄🙊 unfortunately...
Good documentary though I had thought that several hundred thousand people were involved in the creation of an atomic bomb. Respectfully of course.
Wow too hear from the legends themselves brilliant minds thank you
Very interesting documentary. I wasn't very familiar with the Manhattan Project before viewing this. Much appreciated!
Get your facts from a variety of places, so you can make an informed decision about what you believe. Every angle is skewed
Absolutely. Thanks.@@msdixie1972
Oppenheimer-an American-was the leader of the project.
He was referred to as the “Father of the Atomic Bomb”
But yes, the whole crew was talented as well.
YOUR MINDSET
Small Minds
- Talk about others
- Settle for less
- Don't try new things
- Want quick rewards
Great Minds
- Talk about ideas
- Always improving
- Search for solutions
- Aiming for long term
Inventing the most destructive weapon ever built is hardly something id brag about.
FREE GAZA!!!!
My dad was in WW2, so of course, I heard war stories all my life. So I knew a little bit about the atomic bomb. I was very interested to see this film. Very well done. I remember my parents talking and they both agreed that they thought there never again be, such a great fighting force as there was in WW2.
I am the Desroyer of Worlds. I shall never die.
Not the version of history I am familiar with, Alan Turing inventor of the modern computer through his work in ww2 on "The Bomb" his computer that deciphered the Enigma Code of the Nazis inspired the first number crunchers... first time I have ever heard about this other man?
Who is the blonde lady in the pink dress at 17:36?
😮
Kapra. Original Gonzo. Hunter S. tried to wear his shoes.
Genius level occultist with vast knowledge in working with demons in order to create destruction.
You live in a dream what you created
Massss-destruction-sbires....
😂
There is NOTHING bigger than LOVE
As Hungarian im a little said, in WW2 Nazis killed 600.000 Hungarian, after the war another 500.000 Hungarian died in Soviet gulag camp. Hungary lost 2/3 of the land, and 10.000.000 Hungarians stocked in that lands/countries… Hungarians helped a lot for USA in the history, but USA never helped to Hungary, even when they promissed, shame!
Operation Paperclip
An American Robert Goddard launched the first MODERN rocket in 1926.
Atomic bomb not nuclear bombs
Necessary to drop the bomb? If it helps you to sleep at night! Why the 2nd bomb ??
Yes. Japan refused to surrender. And no, there’s not the slightest evidence that they were actually planning to surrender… they’d put out a few feelers, not made any serious attempt. And the answer to your second question is the same: because Japan refused to surrender.
The alternative was either invasion, with a million or more Allied casualties and tens of millions of Japanese dead. Or “blockade and bombardment,. where Japan would be isolated by sea and continually bombed by air, resulting in tens of millions dead through explosives and mass starvation.
Again, JAPAN REFUSED TO SURRENDER. Their policy at the time was called “Ketsugo,” and the idea was to force the invasion and then maul the Allies so badly that Japan would be able to sue for peace on its terms… leave the militarists in power, the Emperor on the throne (and not as a mere figurehead), and with no occupation. And they were willing to see tens of millions of their own people dead to accomplish it.
I get it, “America bad atom bombs bad.” You might want to study this subject before you comment.

Thats it hugarry can live with less

What was the purpose 🤔 of heavy water 💧 manufacturing ( purification) in Norway 🇳🇴 beforeWW2? What is heavy water 💧 interesting and utilizing , exceptionally good atomic weapons designs 🤔 beforeWW2 ? Norway 🇳🇴 was an unproclaimed alliance of great Britain 🇬🇧 at that time. So Britain was the first country to attempt designing atomic bombs ⚛️💣 and evaporate humanity on the planet. History witnessed Germany 🇩🇪 had primitive theory ideas about uranium nuclear fission but far from practical and successful experiments and technological capacity. Those 6 Jewish ✡️ members committed the highest guilt against humanity and planet lives ...if they really had decisive roll over US atomic Arsenals.
There are other uses of 'heavy water'. As far is I know. That's why it was produced prior to ww2. 😐😐😐😐😐
oh
BUT you obviously take into account that you dropped the 2 bombs on the WRONG people right? After the nazis were DONE right? Thats a lot of bad karma you got.
I don't buy this probaganda, I am older than that.
but none the wiser for it.
Why not just move on w/o seeking attention then???
Give us your side backed by facts.
There were many other scientists in the Manhattan project. Why don't they talk about them ?
Which part of this is propaganda
Jews are awesome. Reason: my friend is a Jew that owned a bunch of puppies and it’s punks like those neo Nazis that kept them from making any friends. That’s why I became an American warrior.
The jews were the nazis. Still are. By the way, seek counseling. You're insane.
Lmfao you’re a funny guy
