5. How about a monument...
...in the form of cash damages for their ancestors. Even if we just gave them the modern equivalent of minimum wage for the work done by slaves, it would be considerable. Of course, many other damages were suffered. Slavery is the most horrible thing imaginable. It is worse than the mass murder of the concentration camps because there is no natural end to it. It goes on hour after soul-crushing hour forever. When a slave dies, his or her children continue the effort.
