Who were ethel and Julius rosenberg and what was the fate?

Answer 1

The Rosenbergs, Ethel and Julius, were an American couple with strong Communist leanings who were charged with espionage for passing atomic bomb secrets to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. At the height of the so-called Red Scare, the trial of the Rosenbergs polarized political and judicial opinion in the US. They were tried and convicted in 1951. The Rosenbergs were either unable or unwilling to reveal details of the spying operations by the USSR. The sentence, death by electrocution, was carried out on June 19, 1953. Their case continued to raise legal and moral questions more than 50 years later.

Spying for the Soviets

The Rosenbergs were convicted for supplying the USSR with details of the Manhattan Project, on which Ethel's brother (David Greenglass) had worked. Julius had been recruited by the KGB during World War 2, giving this and other classified information to his Russian case officer, Alexander Feklisov. When the spy ring was exposed in 1950, the Rosenbergs and others were arrested and charged with espionage. Ethel Rosenberg was implicated mainly on the basis of her husband's activities, and Julius by his connections to Soviet agents. The couple's connection to Communism was one of the driving forces in their prosecution.

Answer 2

The rosenbergs were a married couple during the cold war. They supposedly gave information to the russians about the manhattan project etc.. What actually had happened was that during world war Julius was to give information to his russian case officer, Alexander Feklisov. It was his job. When the relationship between the US and the soviet union changed dramatically for the worse, Feklisov used the information that he obtained when he was allied with the united states, against them. For this Julius was labeled a spy. Ethel was basically "guilty by assosiation". Basically. They were executed. To put it simply. It is much more complex than all that, it would take me forever to explain the entire ordeal, but there is the gist of it. Though there really is SOOOOOO much more to it.
