The Rosenberg Family
The Rosenberg Family is a well-known family in American history, particularly for their involvement in a controversial espionage case during the Cold War. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were accused of passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union, which led to their arrest in 1950. They were tried and convicted in 1951, becoming the first American civilians executed for espionage in 1953.
The couple had two sons, Robert and Michael, who were just children at the time of their parents' trial and execution. Over the years, the case has sparked debates about justice, civil rights, and the political climate of the era, making the Rosenberg Family a significant topic in discussions about Cold War history and American legal proceedings.
