Congo Holocaust Museum statement of intention



1) To garner interest for the creation of a museum that reveals the crimes and atrocities committed by  the Belgian-sponsored Congo Free State against the Congolese people between 1885-1908 in which approximately 10-30 million Congolese were killed.

2) To stand in contrast to the Royal Museum for Central Africa (located in Belgium), which speaks on behalf of the Congolese people from the perspective of a nineteenth-century Western European colonizer.  

3) To create a space for the Congolese people to speak on their own behalf regarding their experiences living in King Leopold’s Congo Free State.
