Aron de Vries joined the Hollandia-Kattenburg textile factory as 'business correspondent in foreign languages' in Amsterdam on 22 August 1927. On Wednesday, 11 November 1942, around 4:30 PM, Willy Lages conducted the Sicherheitspolizei raid on the Hollandia factories. All exits were blocked and the Jewish staff members were taken away that evening. Photographs of all workers taken away that evening, as well as those deported previously, appear in the 'Boek der tranen' [Book of tears].
