Victor Kugler, work at Opekta
Victor Kugler worked for De Nederlandsche Opekta Maatschappij.
Otto Frank visited Frans van Angeren's office in mid-July 1933 in the company of his brother-in-law, Joop Hofhuis. There he met Victor Kugler, with whom he worked ever since.[1] At that time, Kugler worked for De Nederlansche Opekta Maatschappij until, in October 1940, he founded the company Handelsvereeniging Gies & Co. with Jan Gies, initially called La Synthèse.[2]
A photograph has survived of Victor Kugler with four other Opekta employees on the pavement in front of the Singel 400 building, taken between 1934 and 1937.[3]
