Review of 'Children of Radium' Explores a Radioactive Family Legacy

A new book review of 'Children of Radium: A Buried Inheritance' is drawing attention for its account of a family history entangled with radioactivity, chemical weapons, wartime Germany and the Holocaust. The reviewer calls it a fascinating but troubling 'moral minefield', placing the family's story within the history of science and Second World War atrocities, with threads reaching as far as Turkey.
Why now: The book's blend of personal family history with radioactivity, chemical weapons and Holocaust-era science makes it a compelling topic for science and history readers.
