A very brave thing for Ivy to do & a good exploration of the paranoia of Cold War Mentality. The Rosenberg situation was a product of the times, regardless of what other reviewers say. They did not do anything to deserve the death penalty, perhaps only prison. Spoiler: The real tragedy is that Julius was willing to put his family at risk by his political activities. He must have known the consequences of being caught; was it worth it to pass info to the Soviets? It was never made clear what goal he hoped to achieve as a result of his espionage. The fact that he & Ethel acted so nobly after their arrest was amazing! Much better, as Michael said than to live the life of David Greenglass. Is the shame worse for a traitor to your country or to your friends & family?
