It almost looks like the nuclear and hydrogen bombs were a "Jewish revenge" (Teller, Ulam, Szilard, Rabi, von Neumann, ...). Even Fermi was kicked out of Italy because of remote Jewish connotation of his wife. Entire Europe, not only Germany, shoot itself in the foot at this point.
Some, but certainly nowhere near all of the scientists involved were jewish. What did happen was that rising antisemitism (in many many countries) caused jewish academics to suddenly become more mobile, more willing to move about the planet or country and take positions on strange projects. I think it less revenge and more market forces that resulted in a relatively large number of jewish experts working on the bomb.
I think a better interpretation is that they were able to convince themselves that bringing nuclear weaponry into the world was the lesser of two evils.
