[h3]American espionage legends Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were both born into large poor families in New York City.[/h3]

Ethel Greenglass’s father ran a struggling sewing machine repair shop, and Julius Rosenberg’s father was in the garment trade. Both attended the same Jewish schools, though Ethel was three years above Julius.

Julius defied parental wishes for him to become a rabbi and began an electrical engineering course at the City College of New York. Whilst there, he became involved in radical politics, joining the Marxist FAECT union.

At this time, Ethel, who had become a clerk at a shipping company, was fired from her position for organising a strike of 150 women workers. A member of the Young Communist League, she was also a strong singer, and it was while on stage at a benefit, on New Years’ Eve 1938, that she met Julius.

The couple were married in the summer of 1939. Julius worked freelance until 1940, when the US Army Signal Corps hired him. By 1942, he was promoted to inspector. Able to move into larger quarters, the Rosenbergs - now full members of the American Communist Party – began to hold meetings there.

Fired from his job for his Communist links, Julius unsuccessfully went into business with Ethel’s brother, David.

In 1950, David gave Julius’ name to the FBI in connection with a spy ring, and he was arrested in June. Ethel was arrested in November.

It was alleged that the two were involved in the leaking of the Manhattan Project information to the Soviet Union, via British-based physicist, Klaus Fuchs.

Implicated US citizens were investigated, including David Greenglass, who gave Julius’ name. Some see this as a revenge move for their failed business venture.

Amid great controversy, and with little proof, and accusations of anti-Semitism and McCarthyism, the Rosenbergs maintained their innocence, only to be executed on the 19th June 1953.
