In memory of Salomon (Mongui) Abraham Levy
Maduro, a foundation carrying his name was established on
March 5, 1974 by his widow Mrs. Rachel Louise (Lou) L. Maduro and his daughter
Mrs. Ena Dankmeijer-Maduro.
The Foundation compromises the plantation
house "Rooi Catootje", its antique furniture and its priceless library,
containing a unique collection of "Antilliana" and "Judaica".
It was Mr. Maduro's desire to make his
valuable collection available to the public. His heirs, upon recommendation
of Mrs. Daphne van Schendel-Labega, took it upon themselves to ensure the
continuation of the collection. The resulting library not only allows the
public to share its contents as a reference collection, but also maintains
"Rooi Catootje" as a historical monument.
