The Nickle Mines tragedy in Pennsylvania, where 10 Amish schoolgirls were held hostage in an Amish elementary school, and 5 of the girls were killed, claimed national and international attention. One of the most frequent questions asked by non-Amish was how and why did Amish forgive the perpetrator so readily.
