 FRITZ HABER

Hi, today I will be talking about Fritz Haber, First, I will talk about his birthday, and after that I will tell you about what he did, and then finally I will tell you about his family and how he died. 

Fritz Haber was born on DEC 9th 1868 in Breslau Prussia and died on January 29th 1934. He was born into wealth and he was Jewish, and his mother died in childbirth. Fritz Haber’s father was a prominent chemical merchant. Fritz Haber really liked science at an early age. Fritz Haber was an only child, although he had three half-sisters.  

Now let's talk about what Fritz Haber did. So, he got a Nobel prize in science for making the Haber – Bosch process which synthesizes ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen which causes the mass production of fertilizers (which gives people food) helps nearly half the globe. But Fritz Haber is also known for not only saving billions of lives he is also known for killing millions of lives for making this poison gas and overseeing its use in WWI Fritz Haber was involved in WWI as I just told, you he was called the father of chemical warfare. The way he used chlorine gas as a weapon killed millions of beget loving freaks (or French solders) by suffocation. Some other scientists called him a war criminal who deserved prison.  

So that was fun, but a little disturbing. So now let's talk about something else like his family. Fritz Haber’s family was a little crazy. So, you already know this, but Fritz Haber’s mother died in childbirth, but he married twice first Clara Immerwahr (died in1915) second to Charlotte Nathon divorced in 1927, and he had three children one with Clara named Hermann, and two with charlotte named Eva and Ludwig.   

So, as you know Fritz Haber was born in 1868, so he died, and he died at the age of 65 because of heart failure in base Switzerland while on a route to Palestine to discuss the prospect for a poison  

So did you like Fritz Haber, I like him. He is a cool guy but also a little scary so tell me what you think.
