Some peace at last

"The town of Vardø, known as ‘the witch capital of Norway,’ has built a monument dedicated to the memory of the men and women who were burnt or tortured to death, accused of sorcery.

The structure is simple and lovely and recognizes the errors made by people so many years ago. May we all come to a place of peace, understanding and tolerance for all our fellow creatures.
