Tunnel 29 by Helena Merriman is the most harrowing true story I've read in a long time and it's more relevant than ever. For those of us who are too young to have experienced the cold war first hand, it is a reminder of the stark differences between communism/socialism and capitalism. In the escape story of East Berliners to the West it becomes crystal clear, how much suffering, fear and terror the overreach of government can inflict on individuals, families and whole societies. Unfortunately history tends to repeat itself, people forget, stories remain untold. It's our duty to learn from the past and to not make the same mistakes. Reading Tunnel 29 and spreading the message is a step along this path.
