From communist prisons to freedom, betrayed and humiliated, captured and freed, Lothar Mork tells his story.

The main character of this book is a 15 year old teenager, who, together with two friends, decides to flee from communist East Germany to live in the free West. An undertaking that involves breaking through a series of deadly border fortifications. What on earth is it that drives three teenagers to risk their lives or imprisonment? The book gives the answers to those questions.

The book keeps the reader in suspense. It all begins with torture in a water tank. Only a few seconds separate Lothar from certain death. But the guards are too lazy to let him die; dead bodies cause more work than living ones in the ‘Banja’, the most feared prison of communist Bulgaria.

East meets West and young meets old; such were the intentions behind this book. It’s a necessity that the "Wall" in people’s minds comes down, just like the Berlin Wall came down. The authors hope that this book makes a significant contribution to that necessity.

After reading this book, many people will be more knowledgeable about East Germany, no matter what their political convictions are.
