EXPLANATION  

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were American citizens who were spies for the Soviet Union. They were strained, convicted, and accomplished by the federal government of the United States. They succeeded in providing confidential information about sonar, radar, and jet engines. They were also accused of sending nuclear weapons designs to the Soviet Union. At that time the United States was the only country in the world that possessed nuclear weapons.

Other convicts who have also been sentenced to prison are brothers Ethel, Harry Gold, David Greenglass, and Morton Sobell. A German scientist named Klaus Fuchs who worked at Los Alamos was found guilty in England. For decades, Rosenberg's sons Michael and Robert Meeropol along with many other defenders voiced that Julius and Ethel were innocent of spying on the country, they were thought to be victims of paranoia from the Cold War.

After the Soviet Union collapsed, a lot of information about them was declassified, including a myriad of Soviet cables which were then decoded and codenamed VENONA. The code detailed Julius's role as a courier and served to recruit spies. Ethel acted as an accessory. The National Archives of the United States in 2008 published the testimony of a jury related to the prosecution of the Rosenberg family. Published documents revealed that Ethel was not directly involved in the spying. Then it contradicted the accusations made by the government.
