Status onduidelijk

Husband of Isa Monas and acquaintance of Otto Frank. He married Isa Monas in Amsterdam on 17 May 1939. On 27 September 1941 their daughter Ruth was born.[1]  The marriage to Isa Monas was dissolved on 6 April 1943, but they continued to live at the same address.

After the war Otto Frank gave Anne's diary, which he had edited and typed out on the basis of the manuscript, to Cauvern for revision and correction. The latter thus produced "Typescript I". [2] In Otto Frank's naturalisation file, Cauvern is mentioned as one of his social contacts.[3] Office clerk at Nederlandsche Radio Omroep, bookkeeper at VARA, later head of radio plays at VARA.[4]

On 19 July 1962 he married Gerry Hendrika van Bockel in Nijmegen.[5]
