Shifrin Zalman Shmuilovich (13.06.1910, Dribin, Mogilev Governorate ― 18.02.1995, Netanya, Israel) ― bookkeeper.
His father was Shmuil-Yakov (d. 1942), a craftsman; his mother, Charni-Malka (d. 1963). From 1916 he studied at a kheder.
In 1919, after Jewish pogroms, the family moved to Gorki, where Sh. studied at a school with instruction in Yiddish. In 1920 the family returned to Dribin.
In 1926 Sh. enrolled at the Vitebsk Jewish Pedagogical College. During his studies he took part in a drama club and compiled catalogues of Yiddish books for the city library. He was forced to leave school because, as the son of a NEP-man, he was subjected to denunciations at meetings and the like. He enrolled in bookkeeping courses in Orsha, and from 1926 worked as a bookkeeper at various small enterprises.
In 1929 the family, ruined by the ban on craft production, moved to Dzhankoy, where Sh. worked as a bookkeeper. In 1931 Sh.'s parents were arrested under the Decree on Surrendering Gold, Silver, and Precious Metals to the State, and released two months later.

In 1931―37 he studied at the Vitebsk Finance and Accounting College while also working as a bookkeeper. He was expelled as the son of a disenfranchised person, moved to Orsha, and enrolled at the Moscow Correspondence Institute of Finance and Economics.
On 20 August 1938 he was arrested and sentenced by the NKVD Special Board to 10 years in a labour camp. In December 1938 he was sent to the Unzha camp, where he worked as a logger, log-cutter, firewood loader, and bookkeeper. In May 1940 he was sent to the Shturmovoy mine of the Northern Mining Administration in Magadan, working in the gold-mining pit until December of that year; he suffered frostbite and was later found to have dystrophy. He was sent to construct the Taskan railway, but in 1942 was placed in a disabled-persons' zone near Magadan, working in bookkeeping, at a clothing warehouse, on a vegetable-garden brigade, and later in Magadan at a tannery, in a foundry shop, at a factory, and in an electrical shop. In 1944 he was sent to the Chkalovo mine, in 1946 to the road administration in the settlement of Ozernoye, and in 1947 transferred to the settlement of Adygalakh.
On 25 September 1948 he was released, exiled for life to the Dalstroy district, where he worked as a bookkeeper. He married a woman he knew through correspondence, and in 1951 a son, Samuel, was born. In 1956 he was rehabilitated, released from the settlement requirement, and was able to meet his relatives, after which he returned to Kolyma. In 1956 a second son, Yefim, was born.
In 1966 he moved with his family to Jūrmala, where he worked as head of the finance department of the “Avrora” factory.
