Someone Named Eva by Joan M. Wolf
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book gets more stars than Daniel Half Human because the author makes the reader feel the horror of Nazi policies. She makes us feel the terror of the children being taken from their families to be re-invented as Aryan adoptees. It's impossible not to cry along with Milada as she gradually forgets how to speak Czech and struggles to remember her parents' faces. It's a more effective WWII narrative, despite being written for a much younger audience.
