Abramovich Aron Lazarevich (19 August 1908, Smorgon, Vileyka Region) – engineer.

From 1921, Aron Abramovich worked as a tailor in Poland. Until 1927, he lived in Vilnius. In 1927, as a political émigré, he was transferred to the USSR and obtained Soviet citizenship. In the USSR Aron Abramowitsch worked as a tailor in Kharkiv.

In 1936, Aron Abramovich was convicted under Article 54.10 of the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian SSR and served his sentence in Svobodny, Far Eastern Krai. In 1939, he worked in Taganrog and studied in Kharkiv. That same year, he graduated from the Kharkiv Mechanical Engineering Institute.

During the war, Aron Abramovich worked as a senior designer, foreman, senior foreman, and senior engineer in Taganrog and Kovrov. In 1945, he moved to Leningrad, and in 1957, after marrying Tamara Dvorkina (1914), he transferred to Riga to take up a position as a senior engineer in the energy department of the Latgiproprom Design Institute.

In 1957, Abramovich applied for repatriation to Poland along with his daughter Evgenia (born 1942). After multiple refusals, he was finally able to leave in 1959. A few months later, he requested for his wife to join him, but Tamara was denied permission to leave.

In 1963, Tamara wrote to her husband, informing him that her departure had been postponed and suggesting that he move on with his personal life. From that point on, Abramovich family had no further information about his fate.
