Isa Cauvern - Monas
Isa Cauvern was an employee of Opekta in the 1930s. After the war, she was involved in writing the typescript of Anne Frank's diary.
Person
Isidora (Isa) Cauvern was an employee at Opekta from about 1935 to 1939. She featured with Miep Gies in the Opekta film.[1] In 1936, Job Jansen Jr. gave her flowers for her birthday, for which she wrote him a letter of thanks.[2]
Isa had a twin sister, Sietske, and two younger brothers, Max and Isidore.[3] When she lived with her parents in Laren, she played with Sietske in a local korfball team.[4] Anne and Margot Frank visited the Cauverns in Laren many times. There is a photo depicting Anne with Isa's dog Dopey.[5]
She married Ab Cauvern in Amsterdam on 17 May 1939. On 27 September 1941, their daughter Ruth was born.[6] The Court in Amsterdam pronounced their divorce on 8 October 1942, which was registered by the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages on 6 April 1943.[7] Nevertheless, according to the population register, they continued to live at the same address.[3]
She was on the Calmeyer list of 8 September 1942.[8]
Her brother Max worked for some time after the liberation at the Police Investigation Service (POD), and later the Police Criminal Investigation Department (PRA).[9]
It was Isa Cauvern through whom Otto Frank came into contact with Lien Brilleslijper in July 1945 and thus learned of the fate of his daughters.[10] Otto took the diary to Ab and Isa in December 1945 for corrections and final editing.[11] She retyped 'Typescript I' after editing by Ab and others, thus creating 'Typescript II'.[12]
