Julius (1915-1953) and Ethel Rosenberg (1918-1953)
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are still among the most recognized spy names. They were both American Communists. This husband-and-wife team passed nuclear secrets to the Soviets. Julius was the first to be recruited by the KGB and passed classified designs and reports from Emerson Radio to the KGB, including a fuze design. And his wife Ethel typed documents for him. Both Julius and Ethel were found guilty of espionage and were executed by electric chair in Sing Sing Correctional Facility in 1953.
