Crime & Punishment

On Tuesday we visited the crime & punishment museum in Rotenburg. 
I can't help but think that bringing back some of these forms of punishment might solve some problems in our world!!

Here's me in the stocks!

I kept thinking that it was too bad Sullivan couldn't be with us because he would have loved seeing some of these weapons and execution tools!

This is a scene in an old school house. Notice the child being hit with the switch, the one in the corner, one having her ear yanked and the one sitting on the donkey of shame! :)

More execution tools.

This is one type of 'shame mask'. It would have been worn as punishment for  a gossip...the big ears and tongue signify that this person heard everything and told everything!

A drawing of two citizens being shamed.

Another shame mask.
