 rong></p>\n<p>"Eva Traube Abrams\, a semi-retired librarian in Florida\, i
 s shelving books one morning when her eyes lock on a photograph in a magaz
 ine lying open nearby. She freezes\; it's an image of a book she hasn't se
 en in sixty-five years--a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. T
 he accompanying article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis ac
 ross Europe during World War II--an experience Eva remembers well--and the
  search to reunite people with the texts taken from them so long ago. The 
 book in the photograph\, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to h
 ave been taken from France in the waning days of the war\, is one of the m
 ost fascinating cases. Now housed in Berlin's Zentral- und Landesbibliothe
 k library\, it appears to contain some sort of code\, but researchers don'
 t know where it came from--or what the code means. Only Eva holds the answ
 er--but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunit
 e those lost during the war? As a graduate student in 1942\, Eva was force
 d to flee Paris after the arrest of her father\, a Polish Jew. Finding ref
 uge in a small mountain town in the Free Zone\, she begins forging identit
 y documents for Jewish children fleeing to neutral Switzerland. But erasin
 g people comes with a price\, and along with a mysterious\, handsome forge
 r named R&eacute\;my\, Eva decides she must find a way to preserve the rea
 l names of the children who are too young to remember who they really are.
  The records they keep in The Book of Lost Names will become even more vit
 al when the resistance cell they work for is betrayed and R&eacute\;my dis
 appears.." MCPL Catalogue</p>\n<p>Print copies may be available at the Ger
