Arsh Fruma Abramovna (1907 – ?) – revolutionary activist.

Since 1922, Fruma Arsh had been involved in the revolutionary movement. She was a member of the youth organisation at the Arbeterheim workers' club, as well as MOPR (International Red Aid) and an underground Komsomol organisation. She distributed illegal literature and delivered parcels to political prisoners.

In 1933, while distributing illegal leaflets, Fruma Arsh was arrested and sentenced to three years in prison. From 1940 to 1941, she worked as a Komsomol organiser at Preiļi Secondary School.

During the Second World War, Fruma Arsh was evacuated and worked on a collective farm. From 1946, she did not engage in formal employment, dedicating herself to raising her daughter. However, she remained active in public life and was elected secretary of a Communist party organisation.
