THE SLAVES' HOUSE

The current "Maison des Esclaves" was built around 1780 in rue Saint-Germain by Nicolas Pépin, whose sister, signare Anne Pépin, was Chevalier de Boufflers's mistress.

This building may have been the last slaves' house in Goree. The first ones dated back to 1536, built by the Portuguese, first Europeans to set foot on the island in 1444.

A short message by Joseph Ndiaye, Curator of the Slaves’ House :
"Slave Trade was one of the major genocides humanity has ever known. Black Africans were relentlessly hounded from their homes, harassed, torn away from their native soil, tortured and humiliated.
This massive and brutal trading of Black people made it possible for almost the whole of the New World to work out their political, economic and social realities.
Actually, only the youngest, the most vigorous, the strongest were taken after being parted from their mothers, thus disrupting the demographic balance of the country.
That is how one can assert that Africa’s own development is still now years and years behind...
"
