'Another day, another film/TV show/play in which a famous Jew is played by a non-Jew.'
Baddiel argues in the piece that J. Robert Oppenheimer's Jewish heritage and the threat posed by Nazi Germany were key factors in why the scientist helped develop the atomic bomb."The emotional undercurrent for J Robert and Albert Einstein and the other Jews involved in trying to make this weapon before the Nazis did, was fear and desperation," he explains.
"Oppenheimer does include scenes where mentions of J Robert’s heritage are present and correct, but the film lacks, perhaps because of the casting — and this is where authenticity casting, whatever you feel about it, has some artistic value — any profound sense of that ethnicity being key to who he was, the secret driver of his work at Los Alamos.""I’ve called Oppenheimer J Robert in this article, because his first name was in fact Julius.
