“Remember who you are, Milada.  Remember where you are from.  Always.”

Milada’s grandmother says these words on the night the Nazi soldiers come to their home in Czechoslovakia.  But what do they mean?  She is Milada, with the sun-kissed hair, the fastest runner in her school.  How could she ever forget? 

Then the Nazis take Milada away from her family and send her to a Lebensborn center in Poland  There she is told she fits the Aryan ideal: her blond hair and blue eyes are the right color; her head and nose, the right size.  She is renamed Eva and trained to become the perfect German citizen, to be the hope of Germany’s future - and to forget that she was ever a Czech girl named Milada.  

Someone Named Eva is being sold in France, too!
