Description
Russian prisoners enjoy the reading material in the prison camp library at Purgstall. The book, journal, and newspaper collection is modest in size, but the room offers a stove, a globe on the top of the book shelf, and photographs decorating the wall. The camp library was one of the most popular places in most prisons.
