Someone Named Eva

Milada is a young girl growing up in the village of Lidice, Czechoslovakia during World War II. Suddenly she is taken by the Nazis, along with other blond, blue-eyed children, to a re-education camp in Poland, and is eventually adopted into the family of a high ranking Nazi leader. On arrival in Poland, her name is changed to Eva by the Germans; but through all the things that happened to her, she worked hard to remember her family and community at home. Although fiction, the story is based on historical events. It is a first novel by Minnesotan Joan Wolf, and will hold readers in it's grip to the very end.
