This primary source is a picture of the Rosenberg's funeral. They were buried side by side and still held the legacy for the first spies executed in the United States. People were grieved for their deaths, and didn't understand why the government put them to death.
The Rosenbergs died on June 19th 1989, before the Cold War started in 1947. They were executed by the electric chair and were buried in the Wellwood Cemetery in New York. People at first didn't know how to respond. Some who were supporters claimed that Russia/The Soviet Union were our supporters at one point in time and we put them to death for no reason. Meanwhile, the opposition of the Rosenbergs claimed they were passing the U.S.'s top-secret information and deserved to be executed. In the aftermath of Julius and Ethel's deaths, studies showed that Julius was the guilty one, while Ethel was completely innocent.
