Witch-Burning

By Counselman Mary Elizabeth

A summary of Witch-Burning: Witch-Burning is a form of execution carried out in the past, where individuals - mainly women - were falsely accused of practicing witchcraft and subsequently burned at the stake. This cruel and unfair practice was fueled by religious and societal beliefs, leading to the torture and death of hundreds of innocent people. Today, witch-burning is recognized as a horrific chapter in history and serves as a reminder of the dangers of misinformation and prejudice.
