The 살렘 마녀 재판 refers to a series of hearings and prosecutions that took place in 1692 in 살렘, Massachusetts. During this time, a group of young girls claimed to be possessed by the devil and accused several local women of witchcraft. The trials led to widespread hysteria and resulted in the execution of 20 people, mostly women. The events were fueled by social, religious, and political tensions in the community. The 마녀 재판 are often cited as a cautionary tale about the dangers of isolationism and the consequences of mass paranoia, highlighting the impact of fear on justice and society.
