Join us at Shir Ami for Lunch and Learn: The Case Against Ethel and Julius Rosenberg

Join us at Shir Ami on Thursday, May 21 for our monthly Lunch and Learn.
The Case Against Ethel and Julius Rosenberg: Presented by Bea Streitfeld

In one of the most controversial capital punishment trials of the 20th Century, a man and his wife (Ethel and Julius
Rosenberg) were charged, tried, convicted and executed for the crime of “conspiracy to commit espionage against the United States” at a time when the COLD WAR was just heating up. Although their co-defendants in the trial received sentences of 15 to 30 years in prison, the Rosenbergs became the first U.S. civilians to be executed for espionage.

Lunch & Learn programs are offered on the third Thursday of each month. Each program is a self-contained course of study from 12:15 to 1:30pm. A cold buffet lunch is available, starting at 11:45 am.
