A few years after Danish physicist Niels Bohr passed away in 1962, Robert Oppenheimer delivered this speech at UCLA in 1964 on the life of Bohr. Oppenheimer begins with Bohr's personal life and his contributions to atomic science. He tells the story of Bohr's escape from the Germans and his involvement in the Manhattan Project.
