On April 5, 1951, they were sentenced to death, and on June 19 executed on an electric chair. On the day of his execution, they wrote this letter to their two sons. Our relatives, most precious children, it seemed to us that we could meet again. But now it is impracticable. And I want you to find out all that I learned. Unfortunately, I can write only a few ordinary words, everything else you must teach your life, just as mine has taught me. First, of course, you will grieve about us, but you will not be alone. That's what comforts us, and what should, in the end, help you. Once you will realize that life is worth living. Know that even now, when our life is slowly moving towards the final, our beliefs are stronger than our executioners! Your life should teach you that good can not flourish in the heart of the evil that freedom and all those things that make life truly worthy and true, sometimes need to get a very expensive price. Know that we calmly accept the fact that civilization has not yet reached the point when you do not have to sacrifice life in the name of life, and that we will calm the firm confidence that others will continue our business. We would like to rejoice in life with you. Your father, who stays next to me in these last hours, sends you, our dear boys, all your heart and our love. Always remember that we were innocent and could not come from our conscience. We press you to yourself and kiss you our best. With love, mom and dad, julius and eutel Rosenberg
