Lot 757:
Opekta Glass Bottle from WWII – Otto Frank Company, the father of Anne Frank. These bottles were dug up in Germany in the 1990’s at a former Wehrmacht dump site.Opekta, also known as Gies & Co., was a European pectin and spice company that existed between 1928 and 1995.[1] It is notable for its Dutch operation being based in the building at Prinsengracht 263 that would later become the Anne Frank House. Opekta started in Germany and later expanded into the Netherlands in 1933, at which time Otto Frank moved from Germany to Amsterdam to become managing director of the new Dutch operation. Otto Frank was in charge of the manufacturing and distribution of the pectin-based gelling preparations, to be used in jam making.The company continued to trade from the same building while Otto Frank, his family (including his youngest daughter Anne Frank) and several other Jews hid from persecution stemming from the Nazi Occupation of the Netherlands during World War II.[2] – wikipedia
