Benyaminson(Benjaminsohn) (Berenstein) Yelena Vladimirovna (15.02.1899, Riga) - homemaker.

Yelena Benjaminson was born into the family of Vladimir and Sara Berenstein. She received incomplete secondary education. In 1923 she married Itsik Benjaminson (…, Aizpute - 1950, Riga), who worked as a pharmacist in one of Liepaja pharmacies. In 1937 the family moved to Riga.

During the Second World War Yelena Benyaminson was evacuated to Tatarstan. In 1941-45 she worked in the artel of invalids ‘Krasnaya Zvezda’ in Chelny, Tatar SSR. In 1945 the couple returned to Riga. Yelena Benjaminson suffered severely the death of her husband and the illness of her daughter, and in the 60s was sent for surgery to remove a malignant tumour. After the death of her husband, she was dependent on her daughter, Estere Bak (1926, Liepaja).

Yelena’s sister, Bronya Glazer (Benyaminson) (1891, Riga), left Latvia for California in 1927 at the call of distant relatives, and Yelena had no further information about her fate.

In 1957, the husband of Yelena Benyaminson's daughter, Boris Bak (1910, m. Sventziany, Poland), petitioned for repatriation to Poland, which was denied to the family. The Benyaminson family repeatedly requested permission to emigrate to Israel, which was granted in 1967.
