i am amazed with the number of people who seem unaware of the fact that the rosenbergs actually were executed.  i am likely gothy-morbid, but i’ve always been fascinated with them and their doomed reality of living through that late 1940s-50s hysteria.  julius i’ve never had sympathy for but ethel has my heart.  she stayed true through it all and it was her brother who judas-ed her.  they gave him an assumed name after the trial and execution - that’s how hated he was.  and i know it’s morbid, but i’ve always found it fascinating that it took a lot more on the electric chair to end ethel.  even though she was smaller than julius.  that’s always struck me.  i don’t know.  her sons are totally adult hippies, now.  i’m not sure if her brother is still alive or not.
