The Rosenbergs

Under the same United States Attorney who had "successfully" prosecuted Alger Hiss, Irving Saypol, the Rosenbergs were tried and convicted of espionage during the Cold War and sentenced to death. The very serious charge was that they had passed atomic weapon secrets to the Soviets. A student at Kansas City University has put together a summary of the official version of the story.

For a powerful indictment of the Government's version, read the statement of the Rosenberg's sons, made in 1998 on the 45th anniversary of the execution of their parents.

Arlene Tyner has provided an evocative article filled with hyperlinks for those interested in finding the truth about this Real History tragedy, called "A Promise for Tomorrow" -- Deconstructing the Rosenberg Case. Arlene has done a fabulous job documenting her work here.
