Not only were they executed on the Jewish sabbath,but pickets also marched in front of the White House with signs reading: TWO FRIED ROSENBERGERS--COMING RIGHT UP! The anti-Communist hysteria of the early Fifties rested on a strong and long-standing foundation of anti-Semitism. Even if they had been nothing more than "patsies"--being Jewish meant they were doomed.

It's a fascinating documentary from Julius and Ethel's granddaughter and while certainly biased and pro Rosenbergs it gives you a real eye into what it was like for their family to be faced with the truth.

A 79 percent approval rating of Trump kowtowing to Putin means that no amount of proof will be enough to shake his support. We might as well get used to that now. “<br /><br /><br />Yes but Meerepol was defending his loving parents whom he was traumatically orphaned by as a child and whom he was long told were innocent , so his inability to accept the truth about those parents is at least understandable.

I'd think that even if I believed that the death penalty was appropriate in other circumstances (which I don't).<br /><br />It's questionable, after all, just how much--if at all--the information they provided helped the Soviets develop the atom bomb. And while there's no way that question could have been answered at the time, if you're going to kill someone for "giving the Russians the bomb," you need to be sure that that's in fact what they did.Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.com
