master and servant

Dear reader,

today we were at the Freedom Center in Cincinnati to inform us about slavery in the U.S.

The part of the museum, which impressed me most, was an animated film about slavery. This animation was divided into three shortfilms. Each film has a different style and theme. The first film was about the difference between freedom in unfreedom, the second film describe the slavery in the U.S. and the third treated the underground railroad.
The second film was the most impressive film for me. It shown the living in a slave pen and the treating of the slaves of the masters. For instance, when a female servant, which worked in the household, broke down a cup of tea, she gets a clab from the master. It was directed in a very shocking way, I could really look inside the slave.

I wasn"t in a WWII concentration camp yet, so I can not compare with this. But I think the way the theme is tret is a different. In the Freedom Center they bring this theme to you by using ne medias, e.g. showing films, where you have to interact. In a concentration camp like you would more "read" the history, so it won"t be so impressive.

I think it"s necessary to keep the history alive. Mostly the people remind to the good things in past, but also the cruel deeds must staying in the heads of the people. So historical museums or monuments are necessary.
These museums are also bringing the impportance of human rights to the persons.

So see you later,
Thommy
