The Memorial Museum of Dominican Resistance (Spanish: Museo Memorial de la Resistencia Dominicana) is a museum dedicated to the preservation of the history regarding the struggles of several generations of Dominicans during the dictatorship of Rafael L. Trujillo, including its background and its consequences. On July 31, 2009, the museum's collection was declared part of the Memory of the World Programme by UNESCO, in order to protect its preservation and facilitate its access through this program. The Memorial Museum of the Dominican Resistance was inspired by a concerned mother and a friend in 1995. The mother of the freedom fighter Tony Mota Ricart, Mrs. Angela Ricart, was concerned about who would look after her son's things that reflected his brave patriotism and sacrifice for the country after she passed away. This concern was expressed to her friend Cristina Gautier, who brought it up to her granddaughter, who at the time was the director of the Columbus Lighthouse and the future founding director of the museum, Luisa De Peña. With his mother reminding him of their responsibility to fallen heroes, Luisa De Peña began to plan the museum. More information...
