For today's Rosenberg Mention of the Day, we share this article on the legacy of Roy Cohn: Trump confidant and mentor, prosecuting attorney during Ethel and Julius Rosenberg's trial, and catalyst for both the Red and Lavender Scares of the 1950s.
Today, his persona is depicted in many major television and film productions, including the recent hit series "Fellow Travelers," following the love story of two men during the Lavender scare, and an upcoming drama, "The Apprentice," a film depicting Donald Trump's life during the 80s and 90s.
Truly Roy Cohn's legacy is ignominious. We'll be interested to tune in for these upcoming programs to see how his story is told. (And for a deeper dive on Cohn's role in the Rosenberg Case, we highly recommend the 2019 documentary referenced in the article, "Bully. Coward. Victim.," by filmmaker and granddaughter of the Rosenbergs, Ivy Meeropol.)
