When Ethel Rosenberg was executed in 1953, her sons were just 6 and 10 years old. In the nearly three years before then, she was an imprisoned mother painfully separated from her family. As a loving caregiver of her two young sons, the U.S. government robbed them of precious time together and the vital support she provided them.
Ethel was accused of spying at the height of the McCarthy Era Red Scare, but her conviction was based on perjured testimony and prosecutorial and judicial misconduct. A newly declassified NSA memorandum also confirms that the U.S. government *knew* Ethel Rosenberg was not a spy long before her trial. But they executed her anyway.
The government cannot return Ethel to her loving family. But it can admit this miscarriage of justice.
