Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Ethel Greenglass Rosenberg (September 28, 1915 â June 19, 1953) and Julius Rosenberg (May 12, 1918 â June 19, 1953) were American communists who were convicted and executed in 1953 for conspiracy to commit espionage during a time of war.
The case against the Rosenbergs was circumstantial at best. At the beginning of the trial, the prosecution announced that it would call more than 100 witnesses, including prominent scientists, who would prove that Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were part of a plot to steal secrets for the Soviet Union. In the end, only 23 were actually called forward to testify.
