Louis Cohen was the son-in-law of Mrs Stoppelman,[1] the landlady of Jan and Miep Gies. Louis Cohen married Froukje Stoppelman on 15 August 1934.[2] The couple had two children, Lida (1935) and Freddy (1937).[3] He was a violinist and worked at VARA in 1941.[4] In 1942 the whole family was arrested at Central Station when they tried to leave for Hilversum. The parents were sent on; the children were taken by an unknown person to Hunzestraat 25. Various stories circulate about the reason for this separation of the family.[5]
