77% Informative

Previously unreported assessment written days after Rosenberg 's arrest adds to the questions about the case.

Ethel Rosenberg was convicted of conspiring to steal secrets about the atomic bomb for the Soviet Union .

Her sons say the memo proves their mother was not a spy and should lead to her exoneration.

They are urging President Joe Biden to issue a proclamation saying she was wrongly convicted.

Ethel Rosenberg's brother, David Greenglass , was indicted as a co-conspirator and served 10 years in prison.

In 2015 , secret grand jury testimony from Greenglass was unsealed that contradicted damaging statements he made during the Rosenbergs ' trial that helped secure their convictions.

Greenglass said he never implicated his sister in the case.

The Meeropols believe the newly released memo would almost certainly have reached high levels of the FBI .
