after the war Otto frank went home and published Anne's diary.then he died at the age of 91.
Opekta dealt spices and fruit pectin.
Mr. Frank was the Netherlands administrator of Opekta/Pektakon. Mrs. Frank was a housewife and mother.
She herself did work, for the Complaints and Information desk in Opekta. She helped her husband, who worked for Otto Frank, hide the Franks.
She was thirteen years old. She was a student and would have been starting the Dutch equivalent of the 7th Grade.Also she was a posthumously published writer if that helps you any.
He was drafted into the military, leaves for New York to gain work experience at Macy's department store and in a bank, and sets up the Opekta company and becomes director.
Mr. Frank was the head of the Dutch division of Opekta/Pectacon, a company that made pectin for jam making, packaged gravies, and spice mixes for use in sausage making.
Otto was an assistant in Amsterdam but had no job when they were in hiding. hope this helps! GGHH12 :)
It was actually two businesses under the same corporate ownership: Opekta, which made Pectin for the making of jams and jellies, and Pectacon, which sold pre-mixed spices for use in the manufacture of sausage.
Otto Frank ran the Amsterdam division of Opekta, a company that made pectin, used in making jam. The company later expanded to a second division called Pectacon, which made pre-mixed spices for the manufacture of sausage.
