Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Hansi must find his way through the Berlin Wall-the concrete wall topped with barbed wire that callously divides the German people. It is his parents' wish.
Determined to escape from communist-controlled East Berlin, to safety and freedom in West Berlin, Hansi searches for the right spot and the right moment, although he's gripped by both fear and hunger. His father has been unjustly shipped to Siberia by the People's Police, his mother is gone.
The conflict between East and West Berlin, of the German people divided, illustrates the difference between democracies of the free world and the communist world controlled by Russia. With realism and understanding, Alida Sims Malkus writes of this historical 1960s event which is not often mentioned in children's literature.
The events in this book take place starting in the summer of 1962, less than a year after construction of the Berlin Wall began on August 13, 1961, by the East German government. 1962 is also when the book was written.
Original illustrations by Victor A. Prezio, and a two page map of East-West Berlin by Charles E. Pont.
