Bookroo's summary

In 1942, Milada's life is shattered when Nazi soldiers take her from her Czechoslovakian home. Sent to a Polish center to be molded into a 'proper German,' she clings to her true identity. As she navigates this harrowing transformation, will Milada remember who she truly is, or will she be lost to the enemy's plans? Her struggle is not just for survival, but for the essence of who she is. Can she hold onto her past in a world determined to erase it?

From the publisher

A gripping tale of one girl’s struggle against the Nazis. “Remember who you are, Milada.” 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, 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.
