Kopman (Kopmann) Boris Davidovich (29 April 1937, Daugavpils) — shoemaker.

Boris Kopman was the son of Liba Kopman (1894, Riga – 1961, Riga) and David Kopman (1896, Ludza – missing in action during World War II).

In 1953, he graduated from the 8th grade of Riga Secondary School No. 16. From 1954 to 1957, he worked as a shoemaking apprentice at the Riga District Industrial Combine. Between 1957 and 1959, he was a shoe assembler at the Saulkrasti District Combine. From 1959 to 1961, he worked at the “Pioner” factory, and from 1961 to 1964, as a shoe cutter at the Riga District Combine in Baloži. From 1969 to 1970, he was employed as a shoe cutter at the “Rīgas Apavi” combine, and from 1970 to 1972, he worked as a junior salesperson at the Riga Textile, Clothing, and Footwear Trade Association.

In his marriage to Basnetta (Basya-Netta) Kopman (née Parnas) (1947, Riga), he had a son, Natan Kopman (1970, Riga). In 1972, Boris Kopman received permission to emigrate to Israel. He later lived in Jerusalem and worked as a shop assistant.
