WW2 Los Alamos and Its Impact Today
Description
Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Galina Vromen, Historical Fiction Author:
What was it like to live in WW2 Los Alamos, New Mexico, where the world's first atomic bomb was built? What were the considerations that went into using the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? How did the use of the bomb influence nuclear policy after the war? Inspired by the research for her historical novel, Hill of Secrets, set in WW2 Los Alamos, author Galina Vromen will bring alive that momentous period and discuss its impact on nuclear proliferation today.
Galina Vromen spent more than a decade as a reporter, mostly for Reuters News Agency, in Europe, Mexico and Israel. After retiring, she harnessed her writing skills to release her debut historical novel, Hill of Secrets, set in WW2 Los Alamos. The research sparked her interest in the aftermath of the use of the bomb, and she has become well-versed on issues of nuclear arms today.
