Well here's something I didn't know about this story: apparently Haber was a German nationalist of Jewish descent who was also responsible for the world's first major chemical attack, which killed about 6000 allied troops.

"A week after [that] attack, [his wife] took Haber's service revolver and shot herself, dying in the arms of Hermann, their only son."

Edit: oh god, this is the Zyklon B man.
