The long and bitter story of the persecution of the Anabaptists and the Mennonites was compiled by Tieleman Jansz van Braght and published in 1660. This is the Blutige Shau-Platz or MartyrsJ Mirror, commonly known among Pennsylvania Mennonites as The Martyr Book. The monks of the Ephrata cloister printed an edition of 1,300 copies of this huge volume of over 1,400 pages for the Mennonite churches of Pennsylvania. The most recent edition of The Martyr Book appeared in 1950. Through this book, which is commonly found in every Mennonite home, the sufferings of their remote ancestors have been kept alive for the Mennonites and Amish of this century. For many it has made the past more real than the present. It has served to convince them that the world is evil, that they are right in keeping separate and apart.
