The_Rosenberg_Trial

The Rosenberg Trial The Rosenberg trial of 1951 deals with the Manhattan project, which was the name given to the top-secret effort of allied scientists to make an atomic bomb. A man involved in making the bomb was physicist Klaus Fuchs, who was working in Los Alamos. In 1945 Fuchs met with a man named “Raymond” to plan the bomb. In february of 1950 Kalus Fuchs was arrested and admitted to giving information to the Soviets about the Manhattan project. Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin made it into headlines claiming that the state department employed over 200 communist agents. Fuchs arrest led the investigators to Julius and Ethel (Greenglass) Rosenberg. When Klaus was asked about the evidence he told authorities about his meetings with a spy known as “Raymond.” The FBI’s attention was then drawn to Harry Gold, a middle aged chemist, who Fuchs had given information to about the bomb. By June 1, 1950 the FBI knew of a soldier who was stationed in Los Alamos who Gold paid in September of 1945 for information on the atomic bomb. Gold was shown a picture and the man was identified as David Greenglass.
