The division of Germany causes a lot of families to be divided by the big Berlin Wall. The government of East Germany has controlled all of the people's lives and their actions. Under East Germany's control, people have no freedom to express, read, watch whatever they want. Therefore, many people pursued their freedom that was West Germany even though they take risks to die.

Faith in everyone's heart is a major theme throughout the book. People who have tried and will try to cross the wall have faith to run away and they follow their hearts and faith.

"Why bother stopping once we're in West Berlin?" I said, laughing. "Couldn't we keep tunneling until we reached France?"
"Absolutely," he said with a grin. "I'll make that tunnel come up right beneath the Eiffel Tower and we'll have the most original view of it anyone has ever seen!" (Page 130-131)

"Fritz, you will not join their military, and, Gerta, you must grow up where you can read any book you want, think any ideas you want. And we will be together again as a family. We will finish this tunnel." (Page 233-234)

Very last of chapter seventeen, When Fritz becomes an adult he should join the military like others. But he decided not to let them ruin his life. He decided to escape through Spree which was very risky.

In chapter forty-five, when Gerta and her mother were preparing to go Fritz but Viktor came to them to arrest Fritz. Then he decided to wait until Fritz came. Even though Gerta and her mother have a risk to die they run away from them. They knew that if they arrest they have the penalty to die.

I believe that the author was trying to encourage people to have faith. Under any circumstances, if you have faith you can accomplish your goal. Throughout this historical event, the author highlighted the value of family, freedom, and faith. While understanding the history it is significant to understand the value of your faith and family. Her main goal was for people to follow their faith.
