The old cemetery in Härnösand, Säbrå and Stigsjö cemeteries are the places where the memorial stones have been erected because it was at the places where the innocently accused and executed people belonged.
– In some way, we have to mark for those who were innocently convicted during the witchcraft trials, says Eva Nordung-Byström.
More stones in Kramfors
Later this year, memorial stones will also be erected at the cemeteries in Torsåker and Dal as well as the old cemetery in Ytterlännäs, all in Kramfors municipality.
– We have received help in finding all the names. Then we double-checked against the research available to verify the names found on the stones.
Peace shines during the inauguration
During the inauguration, candles will be lit and hymns will be sung. Eva Nordung-Byström will end the inauguration by shining peace over those who have died.
– It feels very important. Because they didn’t get a proper burial. Now we shine peace on them.
