Nisvand (Niswand) (née Epstein, also Gurevich) Zinaida Abramovna (1948, Bykhov, Belarus) — sales assistant.

Zinaida Nisvand was the daughter of Abram Epstein (1917, Bykhov, Belarus) and Dina-Rosalia Epstein (1918, Bykhov, Belarus). She completed six years of secondary schooling. In 1964, together with her parents and sisters — Raisa Epstein (1942, Bykhov, Belarus) and Maria Slavinskaya (née Epstein) (1948, Bykhov, Belarus) — she moved to Latvia.

In 1965–1966, she worked as a labourer at the Riga Lighting Engineering Factory. From 1966 onwards, she was employed as a sales assistant in the Jurmala Trade Administration. During her marriage to Michel Gurevich (1940, Kārsava), a son, Gariy Gurevich (1969, Jurmala), was born.

In 1971, Zinaida received permission to emigrate to Israel at the invitation of her husband’s relatives, Eliezer Israeli (1917) and Bella Israeli (1921, Valga). In the late 1970s, she lived in West Berlin. Subsequently, she changed her surname to Nisvand.
