Around the world, we honor Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, murdered by the American government, 50 years ago, June 19, 1953, for the contrived charge of conspiracy to commit atomic espionage, of which they were innocent. As Julius said, it was an attempt to connect Jew, Communist and traitor so as to perpetrate fascism at home and war abroad. In giving their lives to defend their innocence, they literally broke the back of the Cold War and saved all our lives.
