After demobilization Shakhno Levin returned to Riga in 1946. From 1946 he worked as a cutter at the factories Somdaris and Pioner (later renamed 1 May).
During the Holocaust, his first wife Olya Aronshtam — Levin (1907, Limbazi — 1941, Limbazi), their daughter Raya Levin (1938–1941), his parents Hirsh Levin (1876–1941) and Taiba Levin (1882–1941), and his brothers Leva Levin (1903–1941) and Boris Levin (1907–1941) were killed.
