Celebrating Freedom and Commemorating the Past
On July 1st, Amsterdam will witness two significant events: the Oosterpark National Remembrance and the Museumplein National Celebration of the Abolition of Slavery. Both events pay homage to the struggle and triumph of those who fought against the horrors of slavery.
Keti Koti, meaning "Chains Broken," is a festival that celebrates the abolition of slavery in Suriname and the Antilles. Every year, the people of Amsterdam gather to commemorate this historic milestone, honoring the resilience and strength of those who endured unspeakable hardships.
