The analysis of a text #1

Yu You Wei had her identity as a rich heiress taken away from her and replaced by another girl at a young age; all without her knowledge. Years later, with the help of Han Ming she begins to reach her sailing dream. During her journey she encounters various obstacles including finding out the truth about her identity.

I'd like to know if "is" omitted of "being" is implied after "all."
Thank you in advance for your help.

To be honest, I am not sure of the best way to analyse this phrase grammatically. To me its effect seems adverbial, describing how her identity was taken away.
