Evgenia Masalevskaya (born 12.12.1902 in Leningrad) was the widow of Konstantin Slobin. Deported from her native Russia to Hamburg-Langenhorn, she had to perform forced labor for Hanseatische Kettenwerk GmbH (HAK) as an "Eastern worker" since February 22, 1944. She was housed in the Tannenkoppel camp.

On January 25, 1945, she was admitted to the Langenhorn Hospital with a diagnosis of heart attack. On the same day, Ewgenia Masalewskaja died there at 4:30 p.m. on January 25, 1945, in the care of Rada Nikolajewna Masalewskaja (born 1925), who had to perform forced labor at the Langenhorn hospital as an "unskilled nurse" in one of the six so-called foreigners' barracks. ln the hospital's obituary, the cause of death is listed as "cardiac insufficiency mitral defect" (cardiac insufficiency, valvular defect), and Dr. Blumenthal as the signing physician.

Evgenia Masalevskaya was 42 years old.

Four days later, on February 1, 1945, at 10:30 a.m., her funeral was held by the Großhamburgische Bestattungsgesellschaft (GBG) "with decoration and harmonium or organ music" at Ohlsdorf Cemetery. She was placed in a collective grave with nine unknown dead, grave location Bq 72, No. 902. A gravestone slab with her name carved on it and her date of birth and death still commemorates her there today.

During the visit program of the Hamburg Senate for former forced laborers from Eastern Europe, with the cooperation of the "Freundeskreis KZ-Gedenkstätte Neuengamme e. V."her daughter Rada Nikolajewna Masalewskaja from the Ukraine also visited Hamburg in October 2002. It was her great dream "to come to Hamburg and lay flowers on the gravestone of my mother-in-law Ewgenia Masalewskaja. She managed to bless her son and me shortly before her death. Unfortunately, my husband cannot come due to health reasons."
