In 1945, he was re-evacuated to Riga. The same year, he was drafted into the Soviet Army but was demobilized in 1946 due to illness.

From 1945 to 1949, he worked as an apprentice and shoemaker at the “Rekord” factory in Riga. From 1950 to 1952, he continued as a shoemaker at the same factory. Between 1953 and 1955, he worked at the Stalinskaya pyatiletka artel.

Khaim Kron’s brother, Abram Kron (1925, Riga – 1944), died heroically on the front during the Second World War. His sister, Mira Kharat (née Kron) (b. 1930, Riga), repatriated to Poland in 1957 as the wife of a Polish citizen and later, in the 1960s, lived and worked in Israel.
