Peter and Katherine Oppenheimer were the offspring of J. Robert Oppenheimer and Katherine “Kitty” Puening Harrison. The physicist and his wife had a reputation for being reclusive, and their children mostly shied away from the limelight.
Who were the kids of J. Robert Oppenheimer?
Peter Oppenheimer was born on February 22, 1939, and is the eldest son of J. Robert Oppenheimer and Kitty Harrison. Peter reportedly worked as a carpenter and is the father of three kids on his own. The general public knows very little about his personal interests beyond these essential facts.
Peter now resides at the Perro Caliente ranch in New Mexico which his father purchased when he was a young child. In a 2015 interview with Peter’s son Charles, conducted at the request of the AHF, it was revealed that Peter told Robert, then a teenager, “I’m going to take care of it.”
Katherine “Toni” Oppenheimer: Toni, also known as “Katherine,” was the younger child of J. Robert Oppenheimer and Kitty Harrison. Toni, a Los Alamos native, was a child sufferer of polio. During her polio treatment, Toni was introduced to St. John, an isolated region in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and she loved residing there.
Toni committed suicide in St. John not long after turning 33 and her second marriage coming to an end. According to “109 East Palace,” she died in the island home her father built.
Despite his love for both of his children, some claim that J. Robert Oppenheimer never developed a genuine connection with either one of them and that this lack of connection had an effect on his son. It is also claimed that Toni and Peter’s relationship with their mother Kitty, who battled alcoholism and died in 1972 from a pulmonary embolism, was strained. Kitty battled alcoholism.
