Gurovich (Gurowitsch) (née Rabina) Bella Genrikhovna (10 June 1927, Riga) — factory worker.

Bella Gurovich was born to Genekh Izrailevich Rabin (1902, Cēsis) and Ida Zushelevna Rabina (1901, Jaunjelgava). She completed seven years of primary school and, in 1941, was evacuated to Cherlak village in the Omsk region. There, from 1944 to 1945, she worked as a knitter at the local industrial plant. After returning to Riga, she worked as a lab assistant at the “Krasny Oktyabr” mill (1946–1947), was a homemaker supported by her husband (1948–1959), and from 1959 to 1972, worked as an assembler at the Electrical Installation Products Factory.

She was married to Benyamin Mordukhovich Gurovich (1925–1962), with whom she had two children: Mira Gurovich (later Lifshitz) (1948) and Genrih Gurovich (1951).

In 1972, Bella Gurovich received permission to emigrate to Israel, where her sister Zinaida Genrikhovna Gavendo (née Rabina) (1925) and her daughter’s sister-in-law, Dora Abramovna Feld (née Lifshitz), were already living.
