<br/><br/> In the summer of 1950, FBI agents arrested Julius Rosenberg and charged him with conspiracy to commit espionage. Specifically the Justice Department accused him of passing, through his brother-in-law, the 'secret of the atomic bomb' to the Soviet Union. A few weeks later they charged Julius's wife Ethel with the same crime to pressure them to name spies. Convicted and sentenced to death at the height of Cold War anti-Communist hysteria, the couple was plunged into a whirlwind of appeals, protests, and propaganda until their executions in June 1953. Their deaths did little to silence protest, however; as martyrs their case became legend and cast a spotlight on their two orphaned sons. More than half a century later the trial and executions remain living and breathing controversies.
