Robert Meeropol (born May 14, 1947 as Robert Rosenberg) is the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. Julius was an electrical engineer and a member of the Communist Party. His mother Ethel (née Greenglass), a union organizer, was also active in the Communist Party. In 1953, during infamous McCarthy witch hunt period, his parents were convicted and executed for conspiracy to commit espionage, and specifically for passing secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union during World War II. Robert and his brother were adopted by the song writer ("Strange Fruit," "The House I Live In," Abel Meeropol and his wife, Anne. |

| Summary, etc. |
"What is compelling about Robert Meeropol's poignant memoir is his utter honesty in examining the question of whether his parents were guilty of espionage. Yet this extraordinary candor does not diminish his anger at that travesty of justice that deprived him of his mother and father. His story is a personal, anguished search for truth, even while it illuminates a tragi moment in the history of o ur country" -- Howard Zinn, from the back cover. |
