Vidri (Widri) Khaim-Gershon (Chaim-Gerschon) Meyerovich (March 20, 1888, Ludza – December 5, 1961, Riga) — painter (decorator).
From 1901 to 1941, Khaim-Gershon Vidri worked as a painter in Ludza. During the evacuation from 1941 to 1945, he lived in Chimkent (South Kazakhstan), where he worked as a painter for the Construction and Repair Office, the Main Post Office, and the city train station.
In 1947–1948, he was a painter with the Latvian branch of Soyuzlestorg (a Soviet forest products trading association). From 1949 to 1951, he worked for the Riga artel “Dzirkstele,” and from 1951 to 1953 — for the artel “Liesma.”
His first wife, Golda Mordukhovna Vidri (née Rivlina) (1889, Ludza – 1941, Ludza), died shortly before World War II.
His son, Isroel Khaimovich Vidri (1916, Ludza – 1941, Ludza), was killed during the Nazi occupation.
His daughters:
Leya Khaimovna Vidri (1918, Ludza – 1941, Riga) — perished in the Riga Ghetto;
Feiga Khaimovna Veyn (1914, Ludza – ?) — emigrated to Poland with her husband in 1945 and later to Israel (Lod);
Sara Khaimovna Khait — details unknown.
His second wife was Liya Rafaelovna Kovnator (née Shneyder) — dates and place of birth/death unknown.
His father: Meyer Samuilovich Vidri (1853, Ludza – 1918, Ludza).
His mother: Sara Vidri (1861, Drissa – 1916, Ludza).
In 1960 (approx.), Vidri was denied permission to emigrate to Israel, possibly due to health reasons — he was reportedly paralyzed.
