Greditor (née Musin) Reiza Naftalyevna (28 June 1919, Druya, Vitebsk region) — seamstress.

From 1937 to 1941, Reiza worked in private tailoring workshops in Riga. In 1941, she was evacuated to Uni, Kirov Oblast, and subsequently relocated to Samarkand, where she was employed in local sewing artels. Upon her return to Riga in 1945, she worked as a home-based seamstress for the “1 May” garment cooperative until 1950. In 1952, she completed courses in cutting and tailoring at the Railway Workers’ Club and taught pattern-making and sewing from 1952 to 1964. From 1964 to 1976, she was a sales assistant at the 1st Riga City Trade Concern.

Family tragedy: During the 1940s, her parents and three brothers perished in the Riga Ghetto: Naftaliy Musin (1886–1942), Sore Musin (1889–1941), Leybe Musin (1912–1943) and Yankel Musin (1916–1941). Her sister Rokhl Musin (1922–c. 1940) was killed on the frontline. Another sister, Kayle Schneider (née Musin) (born 1920), emigrated from Latvia to Israel in 1972.
