Oppenheimer Memorabilia Sparks Auction Frenzy Ahead of Oscars

As Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' vies for Academy Awards, historic documents related to the atomic bomb's creation draw significant bids.

Historic documents from the Manhattan Project, including a report and a letter signed by J. Robert Oppenheimer, are up for auction, with bids surpassing $35,000.
The auction's timing coincides with the Oscar-nominated film 'Oppenheimer', which has garnered 13 nominations, including Best Picture.
The Smyth Report, detailing the development of the atomic bomb, and a letter in which Oppenheimer reflects on the bomb as 'a weapon for aggressors', are among the items.

The auction, set to close on Wednesday, has attracted attention for its rare and historic items, offering a glimpse into the scientific and ethical complexities of the Manhattan Project.
