Siegfried (Fried) Roozendaal was the brother of Bernard Roozendaal and a brother-in-law of Willy Kleiman, who was Johannes Kleiman's brother.[1]

Roozendaal was a salesman in gentlemen's clothing,[2] director of The Derby Cap Factory (early 1920s)[1] and director of cannery and preserving factory Tokita Product Company (as of 1934). He married E. Gosschalk in 1922. The marriage ended in divorce in 1933. On 22 April 1942 he married Henriette Klijn. He had a daughter from his first marriage; Rosalie was born in 1924.[3] Just like his daughter Rosalie and his brother Isidor, Roozendaal was hard of hearing, a familial condition.[4]

In 1930 Roozendaal submitted to the United States a patent for the invisible repair of textiles.[5] According to a relative, he had appropriated it since the actual discovery was made by his brother Bernard.[6]

He was picked up in October 1942. In contrast to what Anne writes in her diary,[7] it seems that this was the consequence of betrayal by Jan Engels, his business partner and confidant.[8] Engels had witnessed his marriage to Henriette Klijn.[9] Roozendaals only daughter, Rosalie (1924-1998), was a collaborateur and youngest member of the group around Ans van Dijk, a Jewish woman who betrayed hundreds of fellow Jews.[10]
