Gellerman (Gellermann) Nohum Abramovich (22 May 1929, Riga).

Nohum Gellerman was born into the family of Abram Gellerman (1888, Riga – 1949, Riga) and Hasya Gellerman (née Zilberman) (1891, Jēkabpils). In 1940, he completed two years at Riga’s 2nd Jewish School but was forced to discontinue his studies due to health issues. In 1941, he was evacuated to the Chuvash ASSR, returning to Riga in 1946.

From 1950 to 1951, he served in the Soviet Army as a rifleman. In 1951, he was discharged on medical grounds and classified as a first-degree invalid. Thereafter, he was supported by his brother, Yakov (Yakub) Gellerman (b. 1926, Riga). In 1972, Nohum Gellerman received permission to emigrate to Israel, invited by his sister, Tsilya (née Gellerman) Kuper (b. 1924, Riga).
