In 1924 the family moved to Hilversum and returned to Amsterdam shortly before Bep's seventh birthday. During the war years Bep lived at Lumeijstraat 18 II, except for the period <strong>July '41 — May '43</strong>. Then she went to live with an aunt at Da Costakade 77 I.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After several other jobs, Bep joined Opekta in <strong>1937</strong> as Isa Cauvern's successor. She did all kinds of office work and, according to the reference letters 'OF/BV', typed Otto Frank's letters to the Dutch authorities about grandmother Holländer's admission. During the hiding period Bep was one of the helpers. Her father was also aware of the situation and built the bookcase that hid the entrance to the Secret Annex. Bep mainly arranged the delivery of milk through a delivery man of the <em>Onderlinge Vereeniging van Veehouders</em>. She also ate lunch with the people in hiding.

She managed to get away and did not show up at work for the rest of the day. After the war she worked at Opekta until she got married in <strong>1946</strong>. After that, she kept her role in the hiding period as secret as possible.

Het gezin vertrok in <strong>1924</strong> naar Hilversum en keerde kort voor Beps zevende verjaardag terug naar Amsterdam. De oorlogsjaren was Bep woonachtig op het adres Lumeijstraat 18 II, behoudens de periode <strong>juli ’41 – mei ’43</strong>. Toen woonde ze bij een tante op de Da Costakade 77 I.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Na enkele andere baantjes kwam Bep in <strong>1937</strong> bij Opekta, als opvolgster van Isa Cauvern. Ze deed allerlei kantoorwerk, en typte blijkens de kenmerken “OF/BV” Otto Franks brieven aan Nederlandse autoriteiten over de toelating van oma Holländer. Tijdens het onderduiken was Bep een van de helpers. Haar vader was ook op de hoogte van de situatie en timmerde de boekenkast die de toegang tot het Achterhuis verborg. Bep regelde vooral de levering van melk via een bezorger van de <em>Onderlinge Vereeniging van Veehouders</em>. Verder at ze tussen de middag met de onderduikers mee. Ze stond van alle helpers in leeftijd het dichtst bij de kinderen in het Achterhuis. Mede daardoor had ze goed contact met Anne.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bep tobde in deze jaren over verschillende dingen; haar verloofde Bertus leunde tegen de illegaliteit aan en moest voor werk naar Duitsland. Haar jongste zus Nelly werkte op een Duitse vliegbasis bij het Noord-Franse Laon. Ten eerste de Duitse dienst en ten tweede de zware bombardementen op dit vliegveld baarden de familie grote zorgen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tijdens de inval op <strong>4 augustus 1944</strong> stuurde Kleiman Bep met zijn portefeuille naar de drogist Kollen op de Leliegracht. Ze slaagde er inderdaad in om weg te komen en vertoonde zich de rest van de dag niet op haar werk. Na de oorlog werkte ze nog bij Opekta tot ze in <strong>1946</strong> ging trouwen. Vervolgens gaf ze zo weinig mogelijk ruchtbaarheid aan haar rol in de onderduikgeschiedenis. In <strong>1972</strong> vroeg Otto Frank voor alle helpers, dus ook Bep, de Yad Vashem-onderscheiding aan.<sup data-footnote-id=\"kmp03\"><a href=\"#footnote-3\" id=\"footnote-marker-3-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[3]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"footnotes\">\r\n<header>\r\n<h2>Footnotes</h2>\r\n</header>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li data-footnote-id=\"6a27s\" id=\"footnote-1\"><sup><a href=\"#footnote-marker-1-1\">^</a> </sup><cite>Stadsarchief Amsterdam (SAA), Dienst Bevolkingsregister, Archiefkaarten (toegangsnummer 30238): Archiefkaart E.
