On July 1, 2002, the National Slavery Monument was inaugurated in the presence of then-Queen Beatrix. On July 1, 1863, the Netherlands was one of the last countries in Europe to abolish slavery. The National Slavery Monument serves as a place for reflection and commemoration of the Dutch transatlantic slavery past. The initiative came in 1998 from the Afro-European women's movement Sophiedela, chaired by Barryl Biekman. The Dutch government provided a financial contribution. In 2001, Minister Roger van Boxtel declared at an anti-racism conference in South Africa that the Netherlands "sincerely and deeply regrets" the slave trade and slavery. The "static" monument and the establishment of a "dynamic" knowledge institute, the Ninsee, marked the next step. The bronze statue was designed by renowned Surinamese artist Erwin de Vries, who said of it: "The assignment was to address the past of slavery, the present, and the future. From the past, I created a group of enslaved people in chains, from the present, a freed slave, and the most important thing is the future: freedom in the belief that we will one day be completely free from discrimination." While designing the monument, he felt "the pain of the slaves, including my ancestors, but also their enormous strength."

The Moordenaarsbraak is the remains of one of the many dike breaches in North Holland caused by flooding of the Zuiderzee. Between Edam and Hoorn, the IJsselmeer dike owes its winding shape to the dike breaches, which the dike was then built around. The Moordenaarsbraak probably originated in the period between 1775 and 1849.[1] The Moordenaarsbraak is a more or less circular water area, which is bordered by a reed collar. The Moordenaarsbraak has been designated as a provincial monument because it is seen as a "defining element in the North Holland Polder landscape".[2] The name Moordenaarsbraak refers to the violence of the sea, which caused people in the area to be murdered.[3] The nature reserve is managed by Staatsbosbeheer. Just south of the Moordenaarsbraak are the Groote Braak and the Kleine Braak and just north of the Zandbraak and the Hogendijkerbraak, all located within a distance of approximately 5 kilometers along the IJs
