Enkele maanden na de geboorte van Johannes vertrok het gezin naar Nijmegen. Kleiman trouwde in <strong>juli 1923 </strong>met Johanna Catharina Reuman. Dochter Johanna werd in <strong>1928 </strong>geboren. Tijdens de onderduikperiode woonde hij met zijn gezin op het adres Wielingenstraat 12 II in Amsterdam.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>De eerste contacten met Otto Frank dateren van <strong>1923</strong>, toen Kleiman procuratiehouder werd van het Amsterdamse filiaal van de familiebank. Rond dezelfde tijd werd hij directeur van de Centrale Maatschappij voor Handel en Industrie, waar ook enkele familieleden en kennissen van Otto aan deelnamen. Otto was er zelf vanaf december ’33 commissaris. Sinds midden jaren dertig was Kleiman tevens commissaris bij uurwerkfabriek Paauwe en had hij met broer Willy een ongediertebestrijdingsbedrijf Cimex.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kleiman speelde in <strong>1938 </strong>een zeer belangrijke rol bij de oprichting van Pectacon, en was vanaf de ‘arisering’ in <strong>najaar ’40</strong> directeur van Opekta. Hij was de initiatiefnemer van de onderduik in het Achterhuis, en was gedurende de hele periode een van de helpers. Zijn naam komt in Annes dagboek dan ook herhaaldelijk voor. Bij de inval van <strong>4 augustus 1944</strong> werd ook Kleiman gearresteerd, en hij bracht enkele weken in gevangenschap door. Op voorspraak van het Rode Kruis kwam hij vanwege zijn zwakke gezondheid vrij. Tot aan zijn overlijden – aan zijn bureau – bleef hij directeur van Opekta. Verder was hij enkele jaren Otto Franks vertegenwoordiger in het bestuur van de Anne Frank Stichting. In <strong>1972 </strong>vroeg Otto Frank voor alle helpers, voor Kleiman dus postuum, de Yad Vashem-onderscheiding aan.<sup data-footnote-id=\"m4vbn\"><a href=\"#footnote-2\" id=\"footnote-marker-2-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[2]</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=\"rwmhj\" id=\"footnote-1\"><sup><a href=\"#footnote-marker-1-1\">^</a> </sup><cite>Gemeentearchief Zaanstad, geboorteakten 1896, nr. 51.</cite></li>\r\n\t<li data-footnote-id=\"m4vbn\" id=\"footnote-2\"><sup><a href=\"#footnote-marker-2-1\">^</a> </sup><cite>Literatuur: Aukje Vergeest, <em>Anne Frank in het Achterhuis: wie was wie?</em>, Amsterdam: Rainbow, 2014.</cite></li>\r\n</ol>\r\n</section>",
