Ethel Rosenberg, who was executed with her husband for treason in 1953, was honored Monday by the City Council on what would have been her 100th birthday.
Three council members joined Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer in issuing two proclamations lauding Rosenberg, a Lower East Side resident, for demonstrating great bravery in leading a 1935 strike against the National New York Packing and Supply Co., where she worked as a clerk.
The proclamations also said she was wrongfully executed for helping her husband, Julius, pass atomic secrets to the Soviet Union.
A lot of hysteria was created around anti-communism and how we had to defend our country, and these two people were traitors and we rushed to judgment and they were executed, said Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Queens).

When was the last time the Council of NYC issued a proclamation honoring a US serviceman?
Crickets.........
We don’t have enough losers to worship today we have to dig back and get some “real” communists.
Ya, and ignore the brutality and massive suffering under Stalin and Mao and NK and...
Other than that, it isn’t a bad ideology.
“The Jew Hate pops out, huh vette?”
No Marvin, the truth pops out! If you were decent, you’d have beat me to it. but you act just like “a peaceful muslim,” in that you’re not willing to see and speak the truth. Decent Jews would not try to rewrite history. But you’re in good company, there with the Catholics, Mormons and any other group who will go on ignoring those of their number who should be called out for what they really are.
Amusing to watch the commies confusion when their beloved Stalin signed up with Hitler.

Yes.
They were traitors.
Read this book. It will surprise you who else was.
Read this book too, WITNESS. One of the best books ever written.
Yup. And they sit in their comfortable ivory towers given to them by blood and sweat of our servicemen and women.
Governmentally, at least NYC is and openly communist enclave. They have to “adjust” history to fit their idealogy. It also brings out their enemies so they can be further subjugated
My advice: invite Professor Irwin Corey to accept it. That’ll make them wish they’d never bothered with this horror.
Jew Hate is “truth” to vette.
Also to the Nazis, muslims, the current leftwing,
and who else?
I’m not sure she was outed as a ringleader. Julius, definitely. He ran a spy ring. She was his accomplice. I could be wrong and if I am I hope you’ll educate me. Thanks.
Probably printed at the Daily Worker newspaper, where Paul Wellstone’s folks worked.
Sure nice that NY City Council doesn’t have to worry about getting the garbage picked-up or anything...
And the news outlets, and the education systems, and the churches, and most "non-profits".
The full body of evidence against the Rosenbergs couldn’t be introduced at the their trial because it was classified. The intercepted and decoded Soviet diplomatic messages from the late 1940s, the Venona Papers, proved the Rosenbergs guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Who is the current mayor of NY City?
Revising history was a full time job in the Soviet Union. Hasn’t stopped among people who long for a totalitarian communist state.
In other news, the city council honored Benedict Arnold for his work in improving relations with Britain.
