"A top US government codebreaker who decrypted secret Soviet communications during the Cold War concluded that Ethel Rosenberg knew about her husband's activities but 'did not engage in the work herself,' according to a recently declassified memo that her sons say proves their mother was not a spy and should lead to her exoneration in the sensational 1950s atomic espionage case."

Julius Rosenberg gave Manhattan Project nuclear secrets to the Soviets, starting in 1942 and ending ending with his and Ethel Rosenberg's arrest in 1951. Both were executed on June 19, 1953. I thought my whole life Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were both involved in the espionage, but that might be wrong.
