Someone Named Eva by Joan M. Wolf

A gripping tale of one girls struggle against the Nazis.



“Remember who you are, Milada.” Miladas grandmother says these words on the night the Nazi soldiers come to their home in Czechoslovakia. But what do they mean? She is Milada, who lives with her mama and papa, her brother and sister, and her beloved Babichka. Milada with the sun-kissed hair, eleven years old, fastest runner in her school. How could she ever forget?

Then the Nazis send Milada to a Lebensborn center in Poland, and Milada quickly discovers that holding on to her true identity will be the greatest struggle of her young life.

  1. As I was reading this book, I was wondering, What is the awful sour smell near the Werner household?
    Why does Milada stay, instead of running away?
    Is Jaroslav still alive? Is Papa still alive?
    I think this book is wonderful because it is an interesting book, which is actually hard to find, especially with historical fiction. It makes me want to read history. It is intense and dramatic and you get to know the characters

  2. 1. Why is Milada, Ruzha, and all the other girls there?
    2. How long will they be there?
    3. Will Eva ever see her family ever again?
    4. Why is it only girls that are there

    My opinion...I think Someone Named Eva is a good book so far because the book is sorta sad but it makes sense unlike some books, I like this book because I can relate to how Eva feels.

    Dear Kierstyn to answer your questions,
    4.We think that the boys were taken to a camp or shot and they wanted to turn the girls into proper young Nazi women.

    1.We would like to know more about where the girls were at this time.

    2. If you are talking about the center that they stayed in she was there for 2 years.

    3.We can't tell you unless you have finished the book and if so please tell us , we have all finished the book.
