SUMMARY:Local Author Donna Shimko Pays Tribute to Salem Witch Trial Victims
DESCRIPTION:\nThu 10/23 @ 7:30PM\nFACT:  None of the people accused\, trie
 d\, imprisoned\, murdered and otherwise persecuted at Salem were witches.\
 nFor a different perspective and voice about the Salem Witch Trials\, be a
 t the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick on Thursday October 23 at 7
 .30pm.\nWhen I visited Salem last year\, I immersed myself in the real his
 tory of the Salem Witch Trials. I was most moved by the Memorial Ledges\, 
 which is a solemn and stark tribute to each person who was unjustly execut
 ed in the shameful season that was 1692.\nI also kept seeing myself in the
  places of the victims\, deeply moved by their sparse and painful chronicl
 es. On my return to Cleveland\, I wrote my Salem Victims’ ’zine to giv
 e a voice to each of those persecuted people\, who were silenced or delete
 d by the oppressors then in charge of Salem.\nI’ll share my tributes to 
 some of the falsely accused. I’ll provide background about the cold\, fe
 arful\, threatening atmosphere and other factors that led to the 1692 Sale
 m persecutions and trials.\nWe will have a candle ceremony memorial\, a re
 quiem to the 20persons who were cruelly imprisoned and executed\, the five
  who died in jail\, and the two people who survived the trials but paid a 
 fearful price.\nA candle ceremony will also pay tribute to all those — p
 ast and present — who suffer persecution unjustly.\nPlease join us for t
 his tribute and requiem\, to keep the flame of justice alight!\nAdmission:
  $10. Register with the Buckland Museum using this link: Salem Witchcraft 
 Trials Victims: A Tribute with Donna Shimko - Buckland Museum of Witchcraf

 Victims’ Tribute ‘zine will go to Preterm.\n\nAdditional donations can
  be made to Preterm here.\n\n[mappress mapid="4025"]\n
