Otto Frank Exhibitor Card 1933

After the arrival of the German occupiers in 1940, the company was re-registered under the names Jan Gies and Johannes Kleiman to prevent it from being confiscated as a Jewish-owned company. He moved to a new facility, Prinsengracht 263, and changed his name to Gies & Co. Although Otto Frank had to resign in December 1941, he continued to act as a sleeping partner when he, Hermann van Pels and their families were forced to hide in the rooms. above the building's back in July 1942.

His two-year confinement, which was assisted by Kleiman, Kugler, Gies and Voskuijl, was famously recounted by Otto Frank's youngest daughter, Anne, in the diary that was published in 1947.



Otto Frank retired as director of Opekta in 1953 and was followed by Johannes Kleiman until his death in 1959. The building at Prinsengracht 263 was sold to a real estate agency in 1954 and Opekta had to leave its premises. At that time Anne Frank's diary had attracted many readers to the building and a successful campaign was carried out to save the building from demolition. Opekta left the building in 1955 and five years later it was reopened as a museum dedicated to the life and writing of Anne Frank .

A few days ago I acquired this photograph of two German soldiers in front of a grocery store. The sign partially visible in the shop window promises to be able to easily make homemade jams and jellies in a few minutes...

Hi friends.



Take a look at this photo of a soldier carrying an essenbehälter in each hand. In the background several parked cars, and at the top of the wall, an advertising poster.
The photo was probably taken somewhere in the Netherlands.

Royal Dutch Shell plc, commonly known as Shell, is an Anglo-Dutch multinational oil and gas company headquartered in The Hague in the Netherlands. It is incorporated in the United Kingdom as a public limited company. It´s one of the oil and gas "supermajors", and, measured by 2020 revenues, the fifth-largest company in the world.

The origin of the Shell brand is linked to the origins of the Shell Transport and Trading Company. In 1833, the founder's father, named Marcus Samuel, founded a large business to sell seashells to London collectors.



Collecting specimens of seashells in the Caspian Sea area in 1892, young Samuel realized that there was potential in exporting lamp oil from the region and commissioned the world's first ship built to transport oil, the Murex, to enter this market. By 1907, the company had a fleet of oil tankers.



The Shell emblem is one of the best-known commercial symbols in the world. Known as the "pecten" after the seashell, the giant oyster or Pecten maximus, on which it was based, the current version of the logo was designed by Raymond Loewy and introduced in 1971 after undergoing several changes during the 20th century.

Red and yellow corporate colors are related to the colors of the Spanish flag because the company's first service stations were in the State of California, which has strong historical ties with Spain.

That's how it is. Perhaps the soldier was commissioned to carry the rations to the workshop detachment. I always like to imagine the story in each photo.


I add this new image of SHELL that I found on December 14, 2021

The JUNO cigarette brand, was created in 1896 by the Berlin cigarette factory "JOSETTI" on the basis of the new Virginia tobacco.

To produce the new “JUNO” cigarette, a new location had to be rented at Rosenthaler Strasse 40, Neue Friedrichstrasse 9-10. The Manoli cigarette factory in Berlin, with 200 workers, was one of the largest in the German Reich.

During World War II, the JUNO cigarette was hugely popular with German soldiers; but it abruptly disappeared from the market at the end of 1943, the explanation being that the Berlin production plants had been destroyed by air raids.

The brewery was on Klausenerplatz. Between Danckelmannstrasse 9 and Sophie-Charlotten-Strasse 92-94.

The wheat export brewery in Charlottenburg, founded in 1884, was sold again in 1886; Kaiser-Brauerei AG was established at its location, which was taken over by Ernst Engelhardt Nachf. AG in 1910 through a merger.

Starting in 1917, the Engelhardt Group became the second largest brewing group in Germany, which was "Aryanized" in 1934 in favor of the Dresdner Bank.
