Encyclopedia: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg

Julius Rosenberg (May 12 1918 – June 19 1953) and Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg (September 28 1915 – June 19 1953) were American Communists who received international attention when they were executed for passing nuclear weapons secrets to the Soviet Union.

In the 1990s, Soviet communications decrypted in the VENONA project were released which supported the general allegations of espionage by Julius, though not supporting the specific charges on which the Rosenbergs were convicted. Also supporting the conviction were Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's posthumously published memoirs.
