Timeline

1947

Robert Meeropol (born May 14, 1947 as Robert Rosenberg) is the younger son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

Meeropol was born in New York City.

His father Julius was an electrical engineer and a member of the Communist Party USA.

His mother Ethel (née Greenglass), a union organizer, was also active in the Communist Party USA.

1953

In 1953, when Robert was six years old, his parents were convicted and executed for conspiracy to commit espionage, and specifically for passing secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union.

After the Rosenbergs were arrested, Robert and his older brother Michael lived with their maternal grandmother, Tessie Greenglass.

After three months, she was unable to continue such care and placed them in the Hebrew Children's Home.

After several months, their paternal grandmother Sophie Rosenberg removed them from the children's home to care for the boys herself.

During their stay with her, the boys were allowed to visit their parents in Sing Sing prison.

After one year with Sophie, the boys were sent to Toms River, New Jersey to live with the Bach family, friends of the Rosenbergs.

They were eventually adopted by the writer and songwriter Abel Meeropol and his wife Anne and took their last name.

Meeropol earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in anthropology at Earlham College and the University of Michigan.

1960

In the 1960s and 1970s, Meeropol became active in the anti-war effort.

1971

After completing his master's degree, Meeropol taught anthropology at Western New England College in Springfield, Massachusetts from 1971 to 1973.

With his brother, Meeropol sued the FBI and CIA under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), winning the release of 300,000 previously secret documents pertaining to their parents' case.

1974

From 1974 to 1978, he worked actively with the National Committee to Reopen the Rosenberg Case and the Fund for Open Information and Accountability.

1975

Believing the documents proved their parents' innocence, the Meeropol brothers co-wrote a 1975 book about their childhood.

1980

From 1980 to 1982 he was managing editor of Socialist Review in the San Francisco Bay Area.

During this time, his parents' executioner, Joseph Francel, died.

1982

In 1982 Meeropol moved back to Massachusetts.

1985

He returned to school, studying at the Western New England College School of Law, from which he received his J.D. degree in 1985.

He was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar and began practice as an attorney.

1990

In 1990, Meeropol started the Rosenberg Fund for Children, a public foundation which provides support for children in the U.S. whose parents are targeted, progressive activists.

The RFC also supports youth in the U.S. who have been targeted for their own progressive activism.

2003

In 2003 he wrote a memoir that reflected on his life and his parents' fate.

Robert is married to Ellen Meeropol.

They have two daughters: Jennifer and Rachel.

Rachel has become a lawyer for the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York City.

2008

In 2008, Michael Meeropol and Robert Meeropol said that, given recent revelations by their parents' co-defendant Morton Sobell and Venona project documents released in 1995, they now believed that their father was involved in espionage for the Soviet Union.

However, they also said"'To this day, there is no credible evidence that he participated in obtaining or passing on ... the secret of the atomic bomb, the crime for which he was executed.'"They also believed documents showed that witnesses had fabricated evidence against their mother, and that she was innocent of the government charges.

2013

He stepped down from the position of Executive Director of RFC on September 1, 2013, to be succeeded by his daughter Jennifer.
