Estate sale find, vintage original Leading Rabbis of Israel Protest Rosenberg Death Sentence brochure, circa 1951. A grassroots response to the trial and conviction of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. This pamphlet was produced by the movement to exonerate the Rosenbergs created by the Los Angeles Committee to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs (aka the Rosenberg LA Committee) and the National Committee to Secure Justice for the Rosenbergs. Julius Rosenberg (1918-1953) and Ethel Rosenberg (1915-1953) were American citizens who were convicted of spying on behalf of the Soviet Union. The couple were convicted of providing top-secret information about radar, sonar, jet propulsion engines and valuable nuclear weapon designs. Convicted of espionage in 1951, they were executed by the federal government of the United States in 1953 at Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, becoming the first American civilians to be executed for such charges and the first to receive that penalty during peacetime. For decades many people including the Rosenbergs' sons (Michael and Robert Meeropol) maintained that Julius and Ethel were innocent of spying on their country and were victims of Cold War paranoia. The extent of the Rosenbergs' crimes came to light, however, when the U.S. government declassified information about them after the fall of the Soviet Union. The item measures approximately 3.25" X 9" (Folded), approximate shipping weight 3 ounces.
