- Libisema: 3
- After school, Gerta and her older brother Fritz would meet at an old, abandoned WWII bomb shelter behind and alleyway which hugged the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall not only separated Berlin physically but also mentally as Gerta's family had been separated in two. There, they would go inside the bomb shelter and start digging a tunnel under the Berlin wall to escape the oppressive East Berlin. There were deadly consequences if they were caught, but if they did not escape before Fritz has to report for military service, they could be separated from their father and brother for as long as they know it.
- I have a better plan, Dad wants us to dig a tunnel from a WWII bomb shelter, so we're going to dig a tunnel under the wall. Meet me after school, were digging a tunnel under the wall.
- Although they faced many challenges while building the tunnel like loss of energy and starvation, they were determined to finish the tunnel because family is important. They even had a garden they were building in front of the bomb shelter to disguise where all the dirt is going and to make it seem like all of their hard work was going to a garden and not a tunnel so the Stasi wouldn't catch them. They even made many friends who planned to escape with them
- I'm tired too, but we need to go faster to finish this tunnel and take all the dirt out and in just the span of a few weeks..
- Let's stop digging for today I need to rest...
