It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs…… ” So goes the opening sentence of Sylvia Plath’s 1963 novel The Bell Jar, referring to the Jewish American couple, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage and sent to the electric chair exactly 68 years ago today. Their execution casts a morbid shadow over Plath’s book, just as it did over the United States, and it is seen by many as the nadir of America’s engagement with the cold war. The Rosenbergs are still the only Americans ever put to death in peacetime for espionage, and Ethel is the only American woman killed by the US government for a crime other than murder. During their trial, Ethel in particular was vilified for prioritising communism over her children, and the prosecution insisted she had been the dominant half of the couple, purely because she was three years older. “She was the mastermind of this whole conspiracy,” assistant prosecutor Roy Cohn told the judge. But questions about whether she was guilty at all have been growing louder in recent years, and a new biography presents her in a different light. “Ethel was killed for being a wife.

They were guilty as hell.
And the commies in NYC are still pissed to this day and won’t let it go! My suggestion is they change the name from NYC to Rosenberg City. Would be appropriate!
I think the KGB archives revealed that Tailgunner Joe was spot on. The New York Times will never retract their defense of the indefensible. After all the New York Times has always been the paper of record for the Communist Party in America.
Their sons & the Guardian are most likely to be biased on their guilt. Ron Radosh was banished from American Communism in the 80’s right after he wrote a piece acknowledging their guilt.
The damage they caused was equivalent of the worst Nazi war criminals.
Stalin with atomic bomb was able to take over half of the world and kill millions!
KGB Archives were opened after the fall and revealed that the Rosenbergs were guilty.
What more do you need?

Nothing...there should at least be one thing the commies don’t get away with lying about!
They lived in a time when accountability for crimes committed was still fashionable.
I did not see it!
Their actions also emboldened Stalin in North Korea, costing countless thousands of American and allied lives. I don’t feel one bit sorry for these guilty traitors, they deserved to get roasted and were. And we don’t need any haughty lectures from the sons of such trash, although I am surprised they haven’t been hired for an Administration position by His Fraudulency.
Proof that Fake News has been with us for a long time.
I have traced it as far back as 1890’s with the media covering up Socialism by calling it a “Utopia”
The sons did research and found to their dismay; that their father was definitely guilty:

Leftist media still making excuses for the Rosenbergs after all these years. Other leftist hangups include Sacco & Vanzetti, and of course Allende vs. Pinochet.
Exactly.
Their parents rode the lightning on the way out. A “Friar’s Roast” for traitors.
Yeah their parents were scum.
Bad for America. Bad for the Jewish people.
I wish they were Buddhists or something. Lutherans.
“Can their sons reveal the truth?
Was the truth not revealed in 1953?
Is not the truth being revealed now?? The answer is the truth is being hidden. We have people in and out of government today who are just as guilty of the same crimes as the Rosenbergs, who ought to receive the same fate!!!
Many words seeking to ennoble people who betrayed their nation, Sorry kids. Alas 2+2=4, the cold equations; truth doesn’t care how you feel.
