The Power of Interpretation

In the early 1900s, three people believed in three radically different philosophies that changed world history forever.


Robert Oppenheimer - The father of the atomic bomb, he was in charge of the American nuclear weapons program during world war 2. He subscribed to the belief that by developing these weapons of mass destruction, the war would end sooner and thus save thousands of American and Japanese lives in the long run. 


Heinrich Himmler - The second most power Nazi and Hitler's right hand man. He was in charge of the Concentration Camps and coordinated the killings of almost 7 million people. 


Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi - Using only truth and non-violence, he was able to achieve freedom for the second largest population in the world.
