Person
Herman Koopman was a classmate of Anne Frank at the Jewish Lyceum.[1] Through family contacts, his parents brought him and his brother Johan to different hiding addresses. Johan was arrested after being betrayed, and he was killed in Auschwitz in February 1944. Herman had problems at two addresses with the people who were hiding him, but eventually ended up at a farm outside Amsterdam. There he stayed relatively comfortably until the liberation. His parents survived too.
He completed the HBS in a shortened course and studied economics in Amsterdam. Later, his work as an accountant took him to Curaçao and Colombia. After that, he lived in The Hague. Herman Koopman was married twice. He had two sons and an adopted daughter. He is buried in The Hague.[2]
