In the summer of 1941, Svetlana’s family was evacuated to the Urals. Her father, Yakov Dubovitsky (1914–1953), after demobilisation, moved to Riga. In 1962, Kaminer graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at the Riga Medical Institute. From 1962 to 1963 she worked as a dentist at the hospital in Lielvārde, and from 1963 to 1973 as a dentist at the Ogre District Polyclinic.

In 1973, Svetlana Kaminer received permission to emigrate to Israel, joining her brother Boris Dubovitsky (b. 1946), who had previously left Latvia.
