Joseph is the curator of 'La Maison des Esclaves, MusΓ©e de la Liberte', a museum of slavery near Dakar in Senegal. More than 30,000 tourists visit the museum every year and we join Joseph on a guided tour as he explains the history of the slave trade in Senegal. We hear about the separation of families, loss of identity and see 'La porte du voyage sans retour'. Joseph sums up the view of his compatriots with his comment: 'Nous pardonerons mais nous n'oublierons jamais'.
