Interesting Obituary in Today's Boston Globe

[gnomi]

Today's Boston Globe ran an obituary for Ruth Greenglass, who died in April but whose death was just recently uncovered.

Ruth Greenglass was the wife of David Greenglass and the sister-in-law of Ethel Rosenberg. Greenglass was living under an assumed name, and her death would not have become public had it not been for a FOIA filing by historians doing research on the Rosenberg trial and execution.

I had seen this and meant to tell you about it.

The New York Times had it earlier in the week; guess they watch each other.

Thanks so much for posting this. My grandparents were neighbors of the Rosenbergs (& presumably the Greenglasses) in Knickerbocker Village, and my father went to summer camp with the Rosenberg/Meeropol kids after their parents' execution.

In fact, it was my 11th grade history project, interviewing my grandparents' friends about the trial & life during McCarthyism, that launched the career I'm still in.
