Julius and Ethel Rosenberg

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in custody. The Rosenbergs were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union on March 29, 1951, and sentenced to death. The climate surrounding their trial was enflamed in part by the charges Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was then making about Soviet spies; at the same time their eventual conviction lent credence to McCarthy's allegations. |
