POSTCARD JEWISH ETHEL & JULIUS ROSENBERG SPY , FRENCH APPEAL to PRESIDENT TRUMAN:
$100.00

This very rare, original historic item is in nice unused condition. I have never seen another offered. A great example from a controversial event, during a turbulent time in American history,
In June 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for conspiracy to commit espionage under the U.S. Espionage Act of 1917.Members of the communist party, the Rosenbergs were convicted of passing secret information about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union in 1945. Their case remains a cause celebre today, with claims it was the result of Cold War hysteria.Their guilt has been confirmed by Soviet (?) documents made available after the fall of communism.
Obverse: A photo of the Rosenbergs embracing while handcuffed.
Reverse: Text, written in French, was published in France by the Defense Committee for the Rosenbergs.
Translation: Deeply moved by the death threat that weighs heavily on Ethel & Julius Rosenberg, parents of two young children, we ask you, Mr. President, to not sentence them to the electric chair. The trial, ending with such severe and exceptional punishment, did not prove in any way the accusations leveled against the defendants. There was no tangible proof of their guilt and furthermore the debates took place in an atmosphere of political hate and racism. Justice and reason demand the Rosenberg trial be revised.
The postcard is addressed to Mr. PRESIDENT H. TRUMAN, WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, USA
