Biography

Julius Rosenberg was born on May 12, 1918 in New York City, New York, USA. He was married to Ethel Rosenberg. He died on June 19, 1953 in Sing-Sing Prison, New York, USA.

He and wife Ethel were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union. Many believed their only crime was their affiliation with the Communist Party in America, but Nikita Khrushchev confirmed in his memoirs that the couple did, in fact, pass atomic secrets to the Soviets, for which they were executed.

He and his wife Ethel were executed one day after their 14th anniversary.
