Today in History - March 29, 1951 - Rosenbergs Are Convicted of Espionage

Rosenbergs Convicted of Espionage - March 29, 1951


I'm not going to comment on this today, but I thought it was interesting to note. This comes under the category of Cold War, which I am also very interested in. Here is the web site url where you can find the rest of the story: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/rosenbergs-convicted-of-espionage


"In one of the most sensational trials in American history, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are convicted of espionage for their role in passing atomic secrets to the Soviets during and after World War II. The husband and wife were later sentenced to death and were executed in 1953."
