Segal (née Garber) Genya (Genja) Leybovna (20 December 1917, Skaudvilė, Lithuania) — manicurist.

Genya Segal completed seven classes of primary school in her hometown. From 1938 to 1941, she worked as a saleswoman in Bogachka’s ready-made clothing shop in Kaunas.

In 1941, she was evacuated to the Tajik SSR, where in 1942 she worked as a saleswoman in the public catering system in Kulyab. In 1945, she moved to Latvia.

From 1961, she worked as a manicurist at Hairdressing Salon No. 94 in Riga.

She was married to Ilya Segal (1913, Riga). Their children were:

Robert Segal (1941, Kulyab, Tajik SSR) and Sara Segal (1945, Riga).

During the Holocaust, her parents Leib Garber (1880, Lithuania — 1942?) and Sara Garber (née Kaplan; 1880, Lithuania — 1942?) were murdered, as well as her sister Basya-Sheiva Garber (1906, Kelme — 1942) and her brother David Garber (1917, Skaudvilė — 1942?).

Her brother Abram Garber (1915, Skaudvilė — 1943) fought in the 16th Lithuanian Division and was killed in action during World War II.

Her sisters Yaffa Libreich (née Garber; 1908, Kelme), Khaya Leynon (née Garber; 1910, Kelme), Esther Giladi (née Garber; 1912, Kelme), and Rokhel Gershuni (née Garber; 1913, Lithuania) emigrated to Palestine in the 1930s.

In 1963, Genya Segal received permission to emigrate to Israel.
