S.A.L. (Mongui) Maduro Foundation
Our Foundation

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.
