The history of slavery

For more than 300 years, adults and children were abducted from various parts of Africa ─ by Dutch and other slave traders ─ and transported under the most appalling conditions to the former Dutch colonies of Suriname and the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, St Eustatius and St Maarten. There they were forced to work as slaves on plantations producing sugar, coffee and other crops.

The indigenous peoples of the Dutch colonies were not spared either. In Asia, enslaved people were sold and transported to areas governed by the United Dutch East India Company (VOC). For generations, people were born into slavery and forced to work on Dutch plantations their entire lives. Slavery enabled the Netherlands to become an economic world power.
