In July 1950 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, both American citizens, were arrested by the FBI for delivering vital information on the US nuclear programme to the Soviet Union.They both insisted that they were innocent, went on trial, were condemned and executed on June 19th 1953.
The American public was split in half over the case and world opinion was outraged. The Rosenbergs left two children, Robert and Michael Rosenberg, aged 6 and 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethel\u2019s brother David was arrested in June
1950 and got a 15 year sentence. His wife Ruth Greenglass got off completely unscathed. When the FBI and the KGB archives were finally declassified in the late 90s, we discovered a story of dramatic dimensions. There is proof beyond doubt that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were spies and were guilty of helping the Soviet Union from lagging behind in the nuclear race probably by years. They committed what Edgar J. Hoover dubbed the \u2018Crime of the Century\u2019<\/em>.
Why did David Greenglass negotiate a deal with the US justice that delivered his own sister to the electric chair?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
