Magaram (née Mendelson) Mary Lvovna (05.05.1926, Liepāja) — factory worker.

Mary Magaram completed seven grades of primary school. In 1941 she was evacuated to the village of Kirga in Sverdlovsk Oblast. From 1942 to 1945 she studied at Vocational School No. 5 in Tashkent. In 1945 she returned to Latvia and until 1946 worked in a canteen in Liepāja. From 1946 to 1960 she was a homemaker. In 1960–1961 she worked as a sorter at the Riga Metalworking Plant. From 1962 to 1971 she was a quality-control inspector (OTK) at the “Straume” factory.

Her father, Lev Mendelson (1902, Kuldīga — 1941(?), Liepāja), was killed in the Holocaust. Her mother, Goda Mendelson (1901, Kaunas), and her brother, Ilya Mendelson (1940, Liepāja), lived in Kaunas in the 1960s.

In marriage with Gedaliy Magaram (1909, Daugavpils) she had two children: Lev Magaram (1948, Riga) and Anna Magaram (1950, Riga). In 1971 the Magaram family received permission to emigrate to Israel.
