"Someone Named Eva" by Joan M. Wolf tells the poignant story of a young girl named Eva who lives in Czechoslovakia during World War II. When the Nazis invade her town, Eva's life is turned upside down as she is taken from her home and forced into a new identity under German rule. Renamed as a German girl, she struggles to adapt to her new life, grappling with her identity and longing for her family and past. Through her journey, themes of resilience, the importance of memory, and the strength of the human spirit shine as Eva seeks to reclaim her true self amidst the horrors of war.
