History of Anti-Semitism and the Holocaust

Question 4 • FL-2100010-M/J United States History A-CR

How did Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer support the war effort?

Answer
A
They fought the Nazis on the front lines with Allied forces in Europe.
B
They worked with the government to create the first atomic bomb.
C
They helped Allies emancipate Jewish people from concentration camps.
D
They provided aid and rescue to Jewish people living in the ghettos.

Explanation

Oppenheimer led the Los Alamos laboratory, where scientists developed the first atomic bombs as part of the Manhattan Project. Einstein did not work on the bomb project, but he signed a 1939 letter warning President Roosevelt that Nazi Germany might develop atomic weapons, helping prompt U.S. government action. So the best choice is that they supported the war effort through work and advocacy connected to atomic weapons, not by fighting at the front or rescuing people from camps or ghettos.
