The people who work in the warehouse on the ground floor are not aware of anything, except the warehouse manager, Johan Voskuijl, Bep's father. While the people in hiding are living in the Secret Annex, Otto Frank’s business continues to operate as usual. They put on their most cheerful expressions, bring flowers and gifts for birthdays and holidays and are always ready to do what they can.' - Anne Frank, 28 January 1944. 'They come upstairs every day and talk to the men about business and politics, to the women about food and wartime difficulties and to the children about books and newspapers. Still, unlike the people in hiding, every now and then, the helpers can forget their worries with a short vacation, a film, or by going to visit acquaintances and friends. After July 6, 1942, the lives of Miep Gies, Victor Kugler, Johannes Kleiman and Bep Voskuijl are almost completely dominated by the inhabitants of the Secret Annex. A wooden staircase ascends from the floor where the offices are located to the landing in front of the movable bookcase. Completely dependentįrom the moment they go into hiding, the Frank and Van Pels’ families - and later Fritz Pfeffer - are completely dependent on the four helpers. There is a very friendly rapport between the director and the company personnel.
Though Johannes Kleiman only starts working at Opekta in 1938, Otto Frank has known him since 1923. The four helpers have worked at Opekta for some time: Miep Gies and Victor Kugler since 1933 and Bep Voskuijl since 1937.
