Virtual Update on the Campaign to Exonerate Ethel

This important announcement from the Rosenberg Fund for Children:

 

 

This Saturday, December 7th, you're invited to join Rosenberg Fund for Children Founder, Robert Meeropol, and Executive Director, Jennifer Meeropol, for a virtual discussion about the recently relaunched campaign to Exonerate Ethel. This event is hosted by the World Fellowship Center.

Ethel Rosenberg (Robert's mother and Jennifer's grandmother) was accused of spying for the Soviet Union and, in 1953 at the height of the McCarthy era, was executed alongside her husband, Julius. Her sons have worked for decades to prove that their mother never spied, securing the release of hundreds of thousands of pages of previously secret files. The most recent includes a bombshell memo, written by a top U.S. codebreaker who decrypted secret Soviet communications, dated three years before Ethel's execution, confirming that the U.S. government knew she was not a spy; yet the government allowed her execution to go forth anyway knowing her conviction was wrongful.

History must be corrected, Ethel's good name must be cleared, and what happened to her and her family must never be allowed to happen again. This is why Ethel's sons, together with the Rosenberg Fund for Children, have relaunched this campaign to ask Biden to Exonerate Ethel before he leaves office.
