Person

  • Joachim Rieke

Joachim Rieke was a lawyer and worked for Pomosin.[1] He visited the Amsterdam Opekta office, together with Heinrich Sauerbrey, director of Pomosin, in spring 1943. Kugler conducted the meeting because Kleiman was absent due to illness. One floor up, Otto Frank - in hiding - listened in. Three weeks later, on Saturday 24 April 1943, these Pomosin representatives came to the office again for a meeting.[2]

In the summer of 1945, Otto Frank wrote to his brother-in-law Erich Elias that he blamed Rieke for his earlier attitude towards Elias.[3] Riekes' name was on the list of Im 'Achterhaus' genannte Personen" prepared for Ernst Schnabel.[4]
