Description: What do Dutch school children learn about the Dutch slave trade and Dutch colonialism? How is history education in the Netherlands shaped? The Dutch West India Company (WIC) was important in Dutch history. The WIC transported many African slaves across the Atlantic Ocean in the so-called transatlantic slave trade. In 1621 the Dutch West India Company (WIC – West-Indische Compagnie) was established and brought great wealth to the Dutch Republic. Yet, many people suffered. What is learned about this suffering? In the video a history teacher will tell you all about it. History Hustle at Home presents: Dutch History Education About the Dark History of the Netherlands: The Slave Trade.
