Oppenheimer


Oppenheimer won the Best Picture this year.  The film was incredible.  If you haven't seen it, you would really enjoy it.  It's a long film but so well done.  Julius Robert Oppenheimer was born in New York City on April 22, 1904.  Happy Birthday!

Julius Robert Oppenheimer   1904 - 1967

In 1942, Lieutenant General Leslie Richard Groves, head of the Manhattan Project, selected the American physicist to lead the development of the world's first nuclear weapon on Los Alamos, New Mexico. His team's work resulted in the deployment of two bombs over Japan; the first was deployed on August 6, 1945, on Hiroshima, and the second on August 9, 1945, on Nagasaki. Japan surrendered on September 2, 1945.
