Editing Fritz Haber (section)

==Dramatizations and fictionalizations==
The Swedish power metal band [[Sabaton (band)|Sabaton]] wrote the song "Father" about Haber.

A fictional description of Haber's life, and in particular his long-term relationship with [[Albert Einstein]], appears in Vern Thiessen's 2003 play ''[[Einstein's Gift]]''. Thiessen describes Haber as a tragic figure who strives unsuccessfully throughout his life to evade both his Jewish ancestry and the moral implications of his scientific contributions.<ref name="Saltzman">{{cite news|last1=Saltzman|first1=Simon|title=Broadway Review: 'Einstein's Gift'|url=http://www.princetoninfo.com/index.php/component/us1more/?key=10-19-2005_p_04|access-date=18 April 2017|work=U.S. 1 Newspaper|date=19 October 2005|archive-date=19 April 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170419101421/http://www.princetoninfo.com/index.php/component/us1more/?key=10-19-2005_p_04|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[BBC Radio 4]] ''[[Afternoon Play]]'' has broadcast two plays on the life of Fritz Haber. The description of the first reads:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.anthonyphillips.co.uk/media/bfta.htm|title=Bread from the Air, Gold from the Sea|publisher=Archives of Anthony Phillips (who composed the music)|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090202212534/http://www.anthonyphillips.co.uk/media/bfta.htm|archive-date=2 February 2009}}</ref> from the Diversity Website:

{{blockquote|''Bread from the Air, Gold from the Sea'' as another chemical story (R4, 1415, 16 Feb 01). Fritz Haber found a way of making nitrogen compounds from the air. They have two main uses: fertilizers and explosives. His process enabled Germany to produce vast quantities of armaments. (The second part of the title refers to a process for obtaining gold from sea water. It worked, but didn't pay.) There can be few figures with a more interesting life than Haber, from a biographer's point of view. He made German agriculture independent of Chilean [[Sodium nitrate|saltpetre]] during the Great War. He received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, yet there were moves to strip him of the award because of his work on gas warfare. He pointed out, rightly, that most of Nobel's money had come from armaments and the pursuit of war. After Hitler's rise to power, the government forced Haber to resign from his professorship and research jobs because he was Jewish.}}

The second play was titled ''The Greater Good'' and was first broadcast on 23 October 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00f06bw|title=Afternoon Play, The Greater Good|publisher=BBC|access-date=22 November 2008|archive-date=13 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121113110548/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00f06bw|url-status=live}}</ref> It was directed by Celia de Wolff and written by Justin Hopper, and starred [[Anton Lesser]] as Haber.

In November 2008, Haber was again played by Anton Lesser in ''[[Einstein and Eddington]]''.<ref>{{IMDb title|qid=Q1627275|title=Einstein and Eddington}}</ref>

In January 2012, ''[[Radiolab]]'' aired a segment on Haber, including the invention of the [[Haber Process]], the [[Second Battle of Ypres]], his involvement with [[Zyklon A]], and the death of his wife, [[Clara Immerwahr|Clara]].<ref name=radiolab>{{cite web | title=The Bad Show | url=https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/segments/180132-how-do-you-solve-problem-fritz-haber | work=Radiolab | year=2012 | access-date=12 January 2012 | archive-date=4 November 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201104224826/https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/segments/180132-how-do-you-solve-problem-fritz-haber | url-status=live }}</ref>
