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, the residence of Mrs. Stoppelman and Jan and Miep Gies. Various stories circulate about the reason for this separation of the family.[5]
