The trial of the Rosenbergs, which began in March 6, 1951, became a political event of greater importance than any damage they may have done to the United States. It was one of the most controversial trials of the twentieth century. After months in prison the Rosenbergs maintained their innocence and began to write poignant letters, which were widely published, protesting their treatment. A movement began to protest the "injustice" of the Rosenberg trial. In the months between the sentencing and execution, criticism of the trial grew more strident, and major demonstrations were held. Jean-Paul Sartre, the French philosopher, called the case "a legal lynching which smears with blood a whole nation." In spite of attempts at appeal and a temporary state of execution by U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed on June 19, 1953. Both refused to confess. Their guilt and the harshness of their sentences continue to be vigorously debated. Recent studies of the couple's activities show that the evidence against them was overwhelming. It is difficult, however, to imagine the execution of a married couple with young children without understanding the paranoia the Cold War produced. Since the early 1950s the Rosenbergs have been viewed by many as martyrs, conveniently sacrificed by an iniquitous United States in the name of anticommunism. 000866973 60010 $$aRosenberg, Julius,$$d1918-1953. 000866973 60010 $$aRosenberg, Ethel,$$d1915-1953. 000866973 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bFederal Bureau of Investigation. 000866973 650_0 $$aTrials (Espionage)$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York. 000866973 650_0 $$aTrials (Conspiracy)$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York. 000866973 830_0 $$aArchives unbound. 000866973 852__ $$bebk 000866973 85640 $$3Gale Archives Unbound$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://go.galegroup.com/gdsc/i.do?action=interpret&v=2.1&it=aboutCollections&p=GDSC&sw=w&id=13SA&u=usi$$zOnline Access 000866973 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:866973$$pGLOBAL_SET 000866973 980__ $$aEBOOK 000866973 980__ $$aBIB 000866973 982__ $$aEbook 000866973 983__ $$aOnline
