Gdud (née Blums) Feiga Bentzovna (b. 13 December 1921, Bauska) – labourer.

Feiga Gdud was the daughter of Bentz Blums (1878, Bauska – 1949) and Meri Blums (née Klyavanskaya, 1892 – 1929).

In 1935, she graduated from the Bauska City Jewish Primary School. Between 1940 and 1941, she worked as a typist at the Bauska Brewery. During the war (1941–1945), she worked as a cleaner at the Pedagogical Institute in Shuya. From 1952 to 1973, she was employed at the Riga Wagon Engineering Plant: as a storekeeper (1952–53, 1960–68), production dispatcher (1953–1960), and order distributor (1968–1973).

She was married to Isaak Gdud (b. 1923, Riga). They had two daughters: Meriya Grinman (née Gdud, b. 1947) and Raya Gdud (b. 1951, Riga).
