Sunday, April 25, 10:15 am to noon
Join Robert Meeropol, son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, at a presentation to mark the 20th anniversary of the Rosenberg Fund for Children:
 
"New Revelations in the Rosenberg Case."
 
This free event is sponsored by the Sholem Community and Arbeter Ring (Workmen's Circle) SoCal, and will take place at American Jewish University, 15600 Mulholland Dr., Los Angeles.

Robert will outline the dramatic new developments that recently have come to light in the case of his parents, and will discuss how his parents' legacy helps progressive activists and their children today via the Rosenberg Fund for Children. RFC beneficiary families have been active in the struggles to wage peace; preserve civil liberties; and organize on behalf of workers, prisoners, and others whose human rights are under threat.

For more info contact julie@sholem.org or (818) 760-6625, or visit www.sholem.org
Following the presentation, Robert Meeropol will answer questions and
sign copies of his memoir, AN EXECUTION IN THE FAMILY.
