The Rosenbergs

The Rosenbergs In-Person

In 1953 Julius & Ethel Rosenberg were executed for the charge of espionage. They had been accused of giving the atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union. They were the only Americans executed as spies during the Cold War. Since that time many have claimed they were innocent. That they were sacrificial lambs slain at the altar of anti-Communism for their political beliefs. Others claim the government was justified in executing them.

Please join us when professor of history, Mark Sample, will look at the events surrounding this fascinating story.
