Who Am I, Who Were You?

In the exhibition Who Am I, Who Were You?, school students experience how the time, place and circumstances you were born in influence the opportunities and choices you have – or are denied. Through real historical figures like George Maduro, Aquasie Boachi, Tula, Cornelia van Nijenroode or Aletta Jacobs, you discover that equal treatment and equal rights are far from self-evident. The exhibition covers four themes, with linked programmes for primary and secondary schools: “Right and wrong in the Second World War”, “Leaving house and home”, “Trade and slavery” and “Fight for your rights”.
