Susan Smit, Bregje Hofstede and Manja Bedner aim to create a national monument in the Netherlands, acknowledging the witch-hunts and the innocent victims, primarily women.
Hofstede stated, 'To this day a witch is still a comic figure...there's hardly any knowledge of the actual history of people being burned at the stake.'
Historian Steije Hofhuis remarked, 'People were genuinely panicking about the witch...it spread like a cultural virus,' highlighting the societal turmoil during the witch-hunts.
The foundation is seeking public feedback on potential sites, emphasizing the need for awareness regarding the tragic history of femicide associated with witch-hunts.
