Executed justly as traitors and spies or executed unjustly for being Communists and Jews?
Personally, I think they were spies. Julius more than Ethel. I also believe that the Chair might have been a little extreme, especially for Ethel. Many spies have received lesser punishment for doing more harm
Then again, that walking tumor Roy Cohn convicted them. If Cohn told me water is wet, I'd have to stick my hand in it to make sure.

Did you know that though water has the ability to make other materials wet, the liquid itself is not wet.

I lean more toward spies and traitors based on what I know, but I'm willing to consider new evidence.

I thought it was clear that they were spies.

I thought it was clear that they were spies. They were, at least Julius was. Ethel might have been merely guilty of typing her husbands notes. Then again, I've read that she was more active. I've read that Julius was a huge asset to the Russian A-Bomb project. I've read that the stuff the Rosenburg's gave was garbage and they were stooges. The government used then to rat out bigger fish. They weren't innocent but did they deserve the Chair? Did Ethel deserve to die? Their trial was a joke, whether they were guilty or innocent. And it boosted the career of Roy Cohn, who was far more evil that either of the Rosenbergs.

It's intriguing although a tad biased upon who made it.

And remarkable how his life has seemed to connect with some of the most reprehensible figures in US Politics, from Joe McCarthy to Roger Stone.

Also some nice insight into our lord and savior Trump as well namely their dynamic.
