World War 2- Atom bomb

History of the atom bomb:

On 2 August 1939 three Jewish scientists Albert Einstein, Leo Szilard and Eugene Wingner wrote a joint letter to president Franklin D. Roosevelt about the developments that had been taking place in the development of nuclear physics. they warned Roosevelt about the scientists in Germany working on the possibility of using Uranium as a chemical to create nuclear weapons. Franklin looked into this by calling an advisory committee to investigate the matter.

In 1945 the Manhattan Engineer Project was set up in the United States under the command of Brigadier General Leslie Groves. Scientists recruited to produce an atom bomb included Robert Oppenheimer (USA), David Bohm(USA), Leo Szilard (Hungary), Eugene Wigner (Hungary)  etc.

The campaign is also simply a reminder that the problem exists. If the anti-nuke movement reached its apex in June 1982 when 1 million people demonstrated at Central Park, it faded after the Cold War when people assume that the weapons would no longer pose the same risk.
