The first victims of the arms race of the superpowers during the Cold War were of all those who had never participated in an armed conflict: the inhabitants of the Eniwetok Atoll in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. After ten years with forty-four nuclear weapons tests, an uninhabitable, contaminated lunar landscape remained. The two-part reportage by Stefan Aust and Detlev Konnerth provides insights into the life of the islanders, who are still caught up in their victim roles.
