From Salem, MA
The roses near the Salem Witch Trials Memorial lingered in the cool autumn days of Columbus Day weekend to honor, it seemed, those men and women accused of and executed for witchcraft in 1692. The memorial, dedicated by Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel in 1992.  Those accused of witchcraft lost their property upon being accused, so making an accusation was a handy way for some folks to grow their wealth.  A sad and disgraceful time.
