Album 5. Section 2
March - December 1943

 In spring - mid-summer 1943, Euphrosinia was in prison camp N3 Mezhaninovka, in Tomsk Area. She went to the workshop producing wooden dishes and banded barrels to acquire the skills of a cooper. But those in the pyrography workshop noticed her artistic bent and she was taken there. 
It was time of massive mortality of prisoners from starvation and deficiency disease - pellagra. With the help of the physician Sarah Abramovna Gordon, the wife of a "public enemy", Euphrosinia was accepted in the prison hospital and got a chance for survival.
In the summer Euphrosinia, still atrophied, was transferred to prison N4 at Yeltsovka station near Novosibirsk. Since June 1943 she worked night shifts in the cap workshop, in the team repairing caps brought from the war theatre, and in the day-time - at a part-time farm where she could refresh herself with raw vegetables. Since September Euprosinia gave a half of her food ratio and vegetables she managed to secretly bring from the field to her pregnant prison mate Vera Leonidovna Tankova. As she didn't bring vegetables to her foreman Euphrosinia forfeited the work in warmth. She was transferred to the camp constructing a military plant on the outskirts of Novosibirsk. The prisoners worked without construction machines. In the early winter of 1944 she carried wheelbarrows with matrix and materials along the gangways up to the fifth floor.
