Koblenz Daniel Khaimovich (b. 1924, Riga) — electrical mechanic.

A survivor of the Riga concentration camp “Mežaparks.” On 13 July 1944, Daniel Koblenz escaped from the camp together with his brother Shleima Koblenz (b. 1920); the two hid in Latvia until the arrival of Soviet forces.

From 1944 to 1946, he worked as an electrician for the Military Installation Trust, and from 1947 to 1964, he was chief mechanic at the Electrical Fittings Factory.

His father, Khaim Koblenz (1896–1944), perished in the Mežaparks concentration camp.

His mother, Ginda Koblenz (1895–1941), and sister, Rakhil Koblenz (1922–1941), were killed in the Riga Ghetto.

His sister Fanya (Fruma) Kulman (née Koblenz) (b. 1929) was living in Israel during the 1960s.
