Reichrud Leiba Borokhovich (30 November 1887, Rezekne) – shoemaker.

Leiba Reichrud was born into the family of Borokh Iosifovich Reichrud (1863, Rezekne – 1941, Samarkand) and Goda Toviyevna Reichrud (1855–1888, Rezekne).

He worked as an apprentice shoemaker and later as a shoemaker in private workshops (1899–1914, Rezekne). He served in the Imperial Russian Army and later in the Red Army (1914–1919). He moved to Tukums, where he worked as a shoemaker for private employers (1920–1940) and then as a shoemaker in a local cooperative workshop (1940–1941). During the war he was evacuated to the Urals (exact place unknown), where he worked as a shoemaker in a forestry enterprise (lespromkhoz) (1941–1945). In 1945 he moved to Riga, where he worked as an upholsterer at the Shmerli Cemetery for the Jewish religious community (1945–1972).

In his marriage to Khaya Abramovna Reichrud (née Lichtenstein) (1885, Tukums – murdered in 1941 in Riga), two sons were born: Abram Leybovich Reichrud (1922, Tukums – killed at the front during the Second World War in 1943) and Bendet Leybovich Reichrud (1923, Tukums – killed at the front during the Second World War in 1942).

In 1972 Leiba Reichrud received permission to emigrate to Israel, where since 1935 his relative had been living – his nephew’s uncle Shlomo Haimovich Dimant (1908, Vishki).
