Secrets of Secrecy

I never wanted to tell the story of the bomb, or my grandfather's role in creating it. For leo solard, secrecy was a way of protecting ideas, for keeping them out of the wrong hands. If they didn't know the purpose of their work, how could they be held responsible for it? How could they question it? It has haunted me to know that my family helped build weapons of mass destruction. And it's that connection that's brought me again and again to questions of secrecy, denial, guilt and responsibility.
