In recent years, government files related to Ethel and Julius Rosenberg’s execution have been declassified, and the sons they left behind have had to make sense of the revelations. Not all of them have been easy to accept, @AmyWeissMeyer reports: theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

"Since the fall of the Soviet Union, govt files have been declassified, grand-jury testimony unsealed; key players have made confessions. Robby & Michael, the old men who were once such young boys, have had to make sense of these revelations. Not all have been easy to accept."
When Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed by the U.S. government, they left behind two young sons, ages 6 and 10, @AmyWeissMeyer writes. Seventy-three years later, they’re still trying to make sense of what happened. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…
