The Rosenberg Affair is an affair that will not go away. It was the subject of Sidney Lumet's 1983 movie The Book of Daniel, and later the subject of a never-released song by Bob Dylan, entitled Julius and Ethel. Historians now tend to agree that Ethel Rosenberg was wrongly convicted, and in the 2020s Ethel Rosenberg's grandchildren are still campaigning for their grandmother to be granted a presidential pardon.
On June 19th 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg died in the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison, New York. Their death marked the end of the most notorious political affair in America in the nineteen fifties, and came over two years after their sentencing for the crime of spying for the Soviet Union.
It came in spite of some 21.000 petitions and telegrams to the White House, demanding clemency, from people, organisations and governments in North America and Europe, including Albert Einstein. It was, in a way, the climax of McCarthyism.
At the time the American press, full of a manic fear and hatred of communists and anything that could be considered "leftist" fully supported the verdict. Only one major paper. the National Guardian, saw anything wrong in the trial, anything excessive in the verdict. The Rosenbergs were sentenced principally on the word of Ethel Rosenberg's brother David, an employee at the Atomic Research Center at Los Alamos, who admitted having handed the Russians plans of US atomic weapons; he accused Julius Rosenberg of having recruited him.
But what was all the hassle about? David's A-bomb plans, handed to the Russians, were no more than a poor caricature", in the words of the bomb's inventor. "A drawing unable to give any worthwhile information". Some other accusations were proved to be false, too, and throughout the trial, the Rosenbergs themselves maintained their innocence. By normal standards of justice, there was little in the affair that could justify a sentence of death.
However, there was one point. The Rosenbergs were Communists, and proud of it. In
the age of McCarthyism, that in itself was a heinous crime, in the eyes of a nation encouraged
to believe that Communism was worse than devil-worship. After the departure of Senator
McCarthy from public life (following his accusations that many of America's leading politicians
were secretly communists or sympathisers). McCarthyism died away and the Rosenberg affair
came to represent the nation's guilty conscience the case of two people who were unjustly
put to death.
Thirty years later, two American historians published a book on the Rosenberg Affair. and after much research, Ronald Radosh and Joyce Milton concluded that Julius Rosenberg in fact was guilty of spying, though there was no proof of anything in Ethel's case; Ethel's only mistake was to have loved her husband, and to have sympathized with his views, neither of which is a crime, let alone a crime punishable by the death sentence in a country where freedom of speech and opinion are guaranteed by the Constitution.
Radosh's research allowed him to ascertain that Julius was indeed the head of a Russian spy ring, that he did hand over secrets to the Russians, and that these did allow the Soviets to save three years on their nuclear research program. But, he concluded "That being said, he did
not legally deserve the electric chair, but thirty years in jail. For her part, she was executed
for nothing".
Peering more deeply into the character of Julius Rosenberg, the historians portrayed him
as a devoted communist, ready to sacrifice himself, his wife and his family in the name of the
principles that he so strongly believed in. He believed, furthermore, that Ethel would never be
killed, and that one day the United States would become a socialist state.... a fear that is still
brandished to this day in the dystrumpian rhetoric of some on the right.
