Someone Named Eva by Joan M. Wolf


Someone named Eva was absolutely remarkable and a definite must read.  One of my favorite genres besides science fiction/fantasy is historical fiction.  I think this is a story that all should read and contemplate on after it is read.  When most hear the word Holocaust, they think of the jews being mistreated.  Someone Name Eva is the story most people don't know.  It's from the point of view of a german girl being taken away from her family and being brainwashed in to the "Nazi way.  THE only way, according to the Nazi's.  Once the people of Eva's village were rounded up and taken to a school of sorts, they were inspected to see if they would become a part of the infamous Aryan race or be tossed into concentration camps along with the Jews and udesirables.  Eva just so happened to have blonde hair and blue eyes, the perfect candidate to belong to be a part of the Aryan race.  The story is about Eva being ripped away from her German home and thrust into a school on how to be a "good" german girl in the Nazi party.  She survives the dreadful school, all the while worried of what has come of her family, and then is adopted by a Nazi family.  The story is so sad at times, but it speaks the truth about what really happened and its a story that you don't hear.  I would suggest this book to anyone.  It's one of my favorites.
