Children of Radium
Dunthorne sought a simple family escape narrative but unearthed a far more complex truth in his great-grandfather's memoir. This Jewish chemist, initially experimenting with radioactive toothpaste, eventually developed chemical weapons for the Nazis, a legacy of guilt and trauma that ripples through generations. The author's journey to piece together this unsettling inheritance is a profound, unconventional exploration of how the past's long half-life shapes the present.
