Reaching to the end of my book, Someone Named Eva, she is adopted by a German family and she stays there for years. But one day Hitler kills himself and the war ends. Then Milada's mother sends out a search looking for her daughter and when they come knock on the door she realizes that is her. She is sent back to Czechoslovakia and learns that her father and brother died the day they were taken away. Her grandmother died of old age in the camp. Her baby sister was adopted and they are trying to look for her and her best friend was shot in Poland. Her mother was still recovering from the camp and after she did recover they went to live with a cousin in Prague. Later on they went and visited Lidice but everything was destroyed. Milada tells her mother everything that happened. Her mother also does the same. She slowly regains her culture back and her language from scratch. In the book it said “When mama was well enough, she and I left the displaced persons center and moved into a small flat in Prague with Mama’s cousin. Our family of six had become a family of two”(Wolf, Pg. 198). This book matters because it shows us the mistakes we made in the past and why we should not do it again. The most valuable lesson we can learn from the book is to not repeat the history that destroyed and separated families. It is still valuable today because it shows us what Hitler did to families and villages. We should read this as an example of how we messed up in the past and we should make sure it does not happen again.

In the book, Someone Named Eva, a girl named Milada gets taken away by nazis into a concentration camp. Her dad and brother get taken away and executed. She goes to a health examination where her facial features are checked and they thought she had perfect features. So they separated her from her family and she is sent to the center outside of Puschkau, Poland. She is then renamed Eva and she is schooled in german etiquettes and other things and she then forgets a little culture from Czechoslovakia. then she gets adopted by a german family. In real history that event was known as the Czechoslovakia massacre. So maybe if that did not happen, today they could have had a higher population and maybe not be down in expenses because nazi came and destroyed a lot. More importantly they are now two separate countries so maybe that could have changed if and when they became two separate countries. The whole point is that Czechoslovakia could be completely different if what happened with the Nazi soldiers did not happen.
