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