(view table of contents)Product Description: Robert Meeropol was six years old in 1953 when his parents, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, were executed. Just before they were killed, the Rosenbergs told their two sons in a letter, that they died 'secure in the knowledge that others would carry on after them.' The Rosenbergs left their young sons a legacy that was both a burden and a gift, as well as an aching emotional void. Robert Meeropol grew up torn between the need to pursue his political values and his intense fear that personal expo-sure might subject him and his family to violence or even death. An Execution in the Family details Robert Meeropol's political and personal odyssey from Rosenberg son to pro-minent political activist. It is the unfor-gettable story of how one son tried to balance a strong desire to live a normal life and raise a family with a growing need to create something useful out of his nightmarish childhood. It is also a poignant account of how, at age forty-three, Robert Meeropol finally found a way to honor his parents and also be true to himself.
