New books keep coming out about the Rosenbergs, particularly about 37-year old, matronly-looking Ethel, who allegedly only typed up information.
To this day, the fast-paced trial and the execution - during peacetime - remain controversial. President Eisenhower refused to invoke executive clemency, making it clear that he believed in their guilt, as did many people around the world. The Rosenbergs maintained their innocence to the day they died, though they were executed at Sing Sing on June 19, 1953. Seventy years ago this past spring, husband and wife Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted for spying for the Soviet Union, largely on testimony against them by Ethel’s brother David Greenglass, who worked at the Atomic Lab at Los Alamos, New Mexico.
