Leinzon (Leinsohn) Khaim (Chaim) Gedalievich (15 November 1885, the town of Tarutino, Izmail Oblast) — procurement agent.

Khaim Leinzon was the son of Gedaliy Leinzon (1862, Odessa Oblast – 1930, Odessa Oblast) and Rakhil Leinzon (1871, Odessa Oblast – 1941, Rostov).

From 1900 to 1905 he worked as a sewing-machine salesman in his home town. In 1906–26 he procured down and feathers for private enterprises in Tarutino. In 1927–40 he was a procurer of raw animal materials. In 1940 he worked as a procurer for the “Zagotzhivsyryo” office.

In 1941 Leinzon was evacuated to the Uzbek SSR and worked at a sugar-beet collection point in the station of Serovo. In 1945–52 he procured salvage materials in Odessa Oblast.

In 1953 he moved to Riga and was supported by his son.

In his marriage to Raisa Leinzon (1887, Odessa Oblast – 1942, Serovo, Tajik SSR) a son, Herts Leinzon (1922, Odessa Oblast), was born. After the war Leinzon married a second time — to Bronya Leinzon (née Dorfman, later Feferman) (1900, Odessa Oblast).

Leinzon’s mother was killed during the bombing of Rostov. His sister, Khaika Alsztein (née Leinzon) (1890, Odessa Oblast – 1941, Odessa), perished in the Holocaust. His sister Sarra Shvamental (née Leinzon) (1909, Odessa Oblast) was living in Israel in the 1960s.
