Inquisition






In Amsterdam I was allowed to peruse an early edition of the Martyrs Mirror. It belonged to the director of the Mennonite exchange program I was on, and had been in his family since it was published shortly after 1660. It recounts the killings of many Anabaptists and Mennonite people from Western Europe, including some of my own ancestors from Fryslan. Click the link above to read it.
