Michael Meeropol (born Michael Rosenberg on March 10, 1943) is a retired professor of economics.
He is the older son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, convicted communist spies.
Born in New York City, as Michael Rosenberg, Meeropol spent his early childhood living in New York and attending local school there. His father Julius, an electrical engineer, and mother Ethel (née Greenglass), a union organizer, were members of the Communist Party.
When Michael was seven years old, his parents were apprehended.
In 1951, they were convicted and sentenced to death for conspiracy to commit espionage related to the passing of atomic secrets to the Soviet Union.
After two years during which they both maintained their innocence and a worldwide campaign for executive clemency raged, they were executed in June 1953.
