In a world where torture still persists, it's a message that's not to be forgotten.
Here the intro. film to the exhibit, narrated by the curator: http://www.bethelks.edu/kauffman/martyrs/video.html
One of the most precious family relics passed down in my family is an
old, 1749 copy of Der Martyrer Speigel, The Mirror of the Martyrs,
which details many of the deaths and the torture of the "non-
resisters" - non-Catholic Christians who rejected war and violence
and demanded separation of church and state. Most Mennonites and
Amish have copies and traditionally give them as wedding presents. If
you ever get to see the museum exhibit, go see it. It has a way of
changing people.
