Pinkhusovich (Pinchusowitsch) (née Krechmer) Ester Aronovna (born 1920, Biržai, Lithuania) - dress-maker.
Ester Pinkhusovich was born into the family of Aron Mordukhovich Krechmer (1898, Biržai, Lithuania – killed during the Nazi occupation in Riga) and Lea Mordukhovna Krechmer (1899, Skaistkalne, Latvia – killed during the Nazi occupation). She completed seven grades of primary school.
She worked in Riga as a dress-maker: at Weber’s tailoring workshop (1934–1938), and then on individual commissions (1938–1941). She was evacuated to Yaroslavl, where she worked as a seamstress at the ORS peat enterprise (1941–1942). After relocating to the Chuvash ASSR, she worked as a dress-maker in a tailoring workshop (1942–1944), and later as a dress-maker in the tailoring workshop of the Representation of the Latvian SSR in Moscow (1944–1946).
After returning to Riga, she worked as a dress-maker at the Municipal Industrial Trade Administration workshop (Gorpromtorg) (1946–1948), was a home-maker (1948–1961), worked as a dress-maker at the Department of Track Services of the Baltic Railway (1961–1963), at Individual Tailoring Factory No. 1 (1963–1966), and as an electrophotographer at the production enterprise “Patent” (1967–1968). She was again a home-maker in 1968–1969.
Her first marriage was to Mozus Lvovich Elitsofan (born 1918, Latvia – killed at the front during the Second World War; exact date unknown). This marriage produced no children.
In her second marriage, to Yakov Abramovich Pinkhusovich (born 1921, Dvinsk), she had two children: Arkady Yakovlevich Pinkhusovich (born 1948, Riga) and Elina Yakovlevna Pinkhusovich (born 1956, Riga).
