Julius and Ethel RosenbergJulius and Ethel Rosenberg were the only American civilians to be executed for espionage (Ethel Rosenberg). Julius Rosenberg took many people with him. He also helped many groups working as a spy. Most of the people he took with him were people close to him, such as his wife, Ethel Rosenberg, his family, and his friends growing up. The groups that helped him during his years of espionage were the Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) and people who spied on the Manhattan Project. Shortly after all this, they were arrested, tried, and then executed. This period of history is very important because this is the time in history where they brought out the first great weapon. It had an impact on history because it impacted the lives of many people. Ethel Rosenberg was born on September 28, 1915 in New York (Ethel Rosenberg). She was born into a Jewish family (US History). After graduating from high school, when she was only fifteen, she worked for a New York packing and shipping company (Ethel Rosenberg). Ethel only worked there because she didn't become who she really wanted to be. A singer or an actress. As soon as she returned to work, she joined the workers' union and became a supporter of the Communist Party (U.S. History). Julius Rosenberg was born in May 1918 in New York to a Jewish family (US History). He went to the same high school as Ethel, Seward Park High School, but graduated at the age of sixteen. When he went to college, he joined clubs like the Steinmetz Club and the Young Communist League. He met his future assistants...... middle of paper ....... Then about fifty years later, David Greenglass decided to come out and say he had lied. He lied so that he could protect his wife and children from prosecution and even persecution because of the mistakes he made in the past (US History). That said, Julius Rosenberg's plan to attempt to secretly transmit information from the United States to the Soviet Union was a failure. Not only did he get into trouble because what he did also took other people with him, like his wife. No one ever knew exactly why anything happened to him because there was no proof. Between the Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) and the Manhattan Project, you would think that part of his plan would have worked, but that is not the case. Instead, he and his family and friends all died. This is the story behind everything that happened to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg..
