The story behind Anabaptists in cages

I traveled in Germany recently searching for information on my Catholic ancestors. While there, I found that members of my wife's Anabaptist antecedents had rebelled against religious and civic authorities in Münster, Germany in 1534-35. Leaders of the rebellion were apprehended, tortured to death, and had their bodies placed in cages suspended from a church tower. The cages are still there.
