Robert Meeropol: Justice for Ethel Rosenberg – October 25
Monday, October 25, 2021 | 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.| Online
Join us for an informative program via Zoom examining the controversial 1953 trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.  Our featured guest will be Attorney Robert Meeropol, the younger son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.  Robert and his brother Michael are vehement demanding  an official exoneration of his mother Ethel for espionage.  They claim their mother was not a spy and her trial was a perversion of justice.
 
Attorney Meeropol strongly suggests that those interested in this program read Anne Sebba’s book Ethel Rosenberg: An American Tragedy. Click for Zoom link.
