Het is erg indrukwekkend en confronterend. Triest dat dit ons verleden is, maar ook dat het nog steeds voorkomt.

The artifacts were representative of our history and showed what slaves had to endure during that time .

Paid $6 for a guide. The stories told were heart breaking and I cried! All the items come from a single, Jewish, Dutch man. Some items were donated. The museum was built on land where there was no history of slavery. Some of the art pieces are thought provoking. A must see!
