Someone Named Eva by Joan M. Wolf
Milada lives in Lidice, Czechoslovokia in 1942. When the Nazis take her suddenly from her family, the only things that remain are her grandmother’s pin, and her grandmother’s final words to her: “Remember who you are, Milada. Remember where you are from. Always.”
Milada is sent to a “school” to be re-educated as a good German girl, and is then adopted to a German family. But Milada takes her grandmother’s words to heart, and doesn’t forget who she is, and where she came from. Excellent.
