The Nickel Mines schoolgirls & Amish community
Teen & school
Five girls were killed and five others wounded when a gunman attacked the West Nickel Mines Amish School in October 2006. Families and neighbors’ response to the loss drew attention to Amish understandings of forgiveness. The nonfiction book Amish Grace examines that response; the similarly titled film is a dramatization with fictionalized characters.
