Summary of Book:
This is a very touching story of a fictional character in a realistic situation named Milada who was sent to a Lebensborn center and adopted by the commandant of Ravensbruck when the Nazis took over. The whole book is about her experience and how she tries not to forget who she is and where she comes from. It is a realistic and touching story. In the classroom, I would use this book to spark interest in this terrible time in history. I feel that the students would be able to relate to the little girl in this story because of the age. This would be a great book to read aloud daily after our history lesson over this time of the past.
