Latsvinsky (Latzwinsky) Samuil Moiseevich (born 16 July 1913, Daugavpils) — carpenter.
Samuil Latsvinsky was the son of Moisei Latsvinsky (1892, Rezekne – 1920, Daugavpils) and Paya Latsvinskaya (née Skoy) (1891, Daugavpils – 1941, Daugavpils).
After his father’s death, he was placed in an orphanage, where he completed four years of primary school in 1925. In 1929, he graduated from the Daugavpils Vocational School with a specialisation in carpentry.
From 1929 to 1932, he worked as a carpenter in the workshops of Krezman and as an independent craftsman in Daugavpils. In 1932, together with a group of settlers, he illegally emigrated to the Soviet Union and moved to the Jewish Autonomous Region.
From 1932 to 1937, he worked as a carpenter at the Dmitrov Furniture Factory in Birobidzhan. In 1937, after submitting an application for Soviet citizenship, Latsvinsky was prosecuted under the article on “counter-revolutionary activity” and sentenced by the USSR Special Council to three years’ imprisonment. He was fully rehabilitated in 1956.
After his release, from 1941 to 1946, he worked as a carpenter in the workshops of the City Communal Department in Magadan. In 1946, Latsvinsky returned to Daugavpils. From 1946 onwards, he was employed as a worker and later as a master craftsman at the Krasny Mebelshchik (“Red Furniture Maker”) Factory. He was awarded the medal “For Valorous Labour in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–45.”
He was married to Vera Matveevna Latsvinskaya (née Druy) (1912, Daugavpils), with whom he had a daughter, Polina Samuilovna Latsvinskaya (born 1951, Daugavpils). He also adopted Tamara Kachanovskaya (née Latsvinskaya) (born 1945, Kharkiv region).
During the Holocaust, his mother and sister — Nekhama Eltsophon (née Latsvinskaya) (1915, Daugavpils – 1941, Daugavpils) — were killed.
In 1964, Samuil Latsvinsky submitted his first application to emigrate to Israel at the invitation of his sister, Roza Krauze (née Latsvinskaya) (born 1917, Daugavpils), who had repatriated to Poland in 1957 and later moved to Israel. His request was approved only in 1971.
