The ‘Manhattan Project’, the American project to develop and drop the first atomic bombs, was almost entirely a Jewish project, from Einstein’s first letter of encouragement to Roosevelt of the urgency to develop such weapons, to William Laurence sitting in the co-pilot’s seat during the bombing of Nagasaki. Many observers have noted that photographs of the Manhattan Project Team look like yeshiva photos, yearbook photographs of a Jewish high school reunion, and in fact the atomic bomb was widely known in scientific circles in the US as “The Jewish Hell-Bomb”.
