Moskovitz (Moskowitz) Tsira (Tzira) Moiseevna
(nee Hamburg; in her first marriage Dunes, in her second marriage Kogan)
(9 February 1908, Dvinsk, today Daugavpils) — worker.
Tsira Moskovitze was born into the family of Moisei Leibovich Hamburg (1869, Lithuania — murdered by the Nazis during World War II; no exact date in the documents, Dvinsk) and Sore Hamburg (1874 — murdered by the Nazis during World War II; no exact date in the documents, Dvinsk). She completed two grades of primary school (1917, Nizhny Novgorod).
She worked as a seamstress in private workshops (1921–1931, Dvinsk), then as a milliner at the Buffalo and Latlini factories (1931–1941, Riga). She was evacuated to the town of Slobodskoy in Kirov Oblast, where she worked as a machine operator at the Belka factory (1942–1944). After returning to Latvia, she worked in Riga as a machine operator for Latpromtorg (1945–1947), was supported by her husband (1948–1959), worked as a laborer at the Household Services Combine (1960–1962), was supported by her son (1963–1968), worked as a laborer at the production association Siluet (1968–1969), and later was supported by her son and her daughter’s husband (1969–1971).
In her marriage to Yankel Mendelevich Dunes (1908, Griva, Latvia — 1944, Slobodskoy; died in a labor camp, posthumously rehabilitated), the following children were born: daughter Vera Yakovlevna Latskaya (née Dunes) (1928, Riga) and sons Mendel-Leib Yankelevich Dunes (1931, Riga) and Shleima-Avrom Yankelevich Dunes (1934, Riga — went missing in 1941, Dvinsk).
In her marriage to Aron Khaimovich Kogan (1904, Dvinsk), a son was born: Iosif Aronovich Kogan (1947, Riga). This marriage was dissolved in 1963.
In her marriage to Yakob Moiseevich Moskovitz (1906, Shiluva, Lithuania), there were no children.
In 1971 she received permission to emigrate to Israel, where since 1966 her husband Yakob Moiseevich Moskovitz (1906, Shiluva, Lithuania) had been living, as well as her cousin Meri Gurvits (1908, Dvinsk). In addition, according to rumors that reached Tsira Moiseevna, one of her sons was also in Israel, having been taken there by survivors of the Dvinsk ghetto.
Note. Tsira Moiseevna left for Israel in the spring of 1971, and in August of the same year moved to Vienna, where she filed a petition for restoration of USSR citizenship and return to her homeland to live with her son Mendel-Leib Yankelevich Dunes. However, her son categorically refused to accept his mother for permanent residence and to provide for her, explaining: “When she left, she did not consult me. Her son, daughter, and grandchildren are in Israel, and I believe she should be with them.” Upon arriving in Israel, she discovered that her husband Yakob Moiseevich Moskovitz was married to another woman. Another relative, Izak Mendelevich Gurevich, was willing to accept her for permanent residence, as stated in his petition of 1973. There is no information in the documents about what decision was ultimately taken.
