In 1941, Khaya Feigelson was evacuated to the Turkmen SSR. In 1944, she graduated from secondary school in Ashgabat. In 1945, she returned to Latvia and lived in Riga.

In 1945–1946, she worked as an accountant at the “Esplanade” restaurant. In 1947–1950, she was a buffet attendant at the “Nice” café.

In 1949, her husband was again administratively deported from Latvia, and she followed him to the Krasnoyarsk region. In 1950–1951, she worked on a collective farm in the village of Dolgy Most. In 1951–1954, she was a saleswoman in the rural cooperative of the Dolgomostovsky district (Krasnoyarsk region). In 1955, she worked as a saleswoman in the “Pishcheprom” artel in Kansk.

Later in 1955, she returned to Riga, where she was a homemaker until 1960. From 1960 to 1964, she worked as a cashier in canteen No. 3 of the public catering system of the Lenin District of Riga.

She was married to Leiba Sokolovich (1925, Riga — 1960, Riga). They had a son, Filipp Sokolovich (1952, Krasnoyarsk region).

During the Holocaust, her parents — Leyba Feigelson (1888, Vitebsk — 1941, Daugavpils) and Lyuba Feigelson (1893, Daugavpils — 1941, Daugavpils) — were murdered.
