Escape from East Berlin /
Andy Marino.
- First edition.
- 167 pages ; 20 cm
Marta is a young girl who saw thirty miles of barbed wire appear across her city overnight, separating Berlin into West and East - with Marta's home on the Communist Bloc - controlled Eastern side. Then, just a month ago, Marta's brother became a victim of schiessbefehl, the standing order to fire upon anyone who dared pass into the West. With her family and nation both fractured, Marta will soon be faced with a promising - but dangerous - opportunity. Is the desire for freedom enough to risk more death?
