Execution Martyrs of Gorkum (Dutch: Martelaren van Gorcum) - a group of 19 Dutch Catholic clerics and friars who were tortured, hanged and mutilated on 9 July 1572 in the town of Brielle (or Den Briel) by militant Dutch Calvinists during the 16th century religious wars specifically the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule, which developed into the Eighty Years' War.
It's just one example of the many very brutal actions that followed killing people because of religion.

Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.
Although initially an internment and concentration camp, providing enforced labour for nearby factories, Auschwitz I also witnessed mass killings, although not on the scale of the nearby Birkenau camp built later. The building on the right, Block 11, was the camp prison, for want of a better description, and many inmates suffered by being held in cells too small to sit down in, or with no air. Others were sentenced to be shot in front of this wall (demolished at the end of the war, but reconstructed later), while others had their hands tied behind their backs and were hung by the wrists from the posts on the left. The prison block was also where the first experiments with Zyklon B gas took place. The block on the left, just out of shot, was the "hospital" block, scene of many horrific experiments.

Isolated inside its own fenced courtyard, the small building is known simply enough as the execution chamber. Between the years of 1937 and 1989, 39 or 40 (depending on the source) inmates were put to death inside the structure. All of the executions, save one, were conducted in the state's gas chamber where the sealed unit was filled with cyanide gas. The sole exception was the prison's last execution on January 26, 1989.
