Shocking Double Life of Fritz Haber .It was a German chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his invention of the Haber-Bosch process, which enabled the mass production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. Ammonia is essential for making fertilizers and explosives, and it is estimated that half of the world’s population depends on food grown with Haber’s ammonia. However, Haber also had a dark side. He was the father of chemical warfare, and he supervised the use of poison gas by the German army during World War I. He also faced personal tragedies, such as the suicide of his first wife Clara, who opposed his involvement in the war, and the persecution of his Jewish family by the Nazis, who forced him to resign from his position as the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry. Haber died of heart failure in 1934, while on his way to Palestine, where he was invited to become the director of the Sieff Research Institute (now the Weizmann Institute). In this video, we will explore the life and legacy of Fritz Haber, one of the most influential and controversial scientists in history. #LifeofFritzHaber #Nobility #ChemicalWarlord #fritzhaberbiography #nobelman #haberboschproces
