Chapter 17: The Price of Light

In the rain-soaked darkness of Hamburg, Friedrich's resistance work reaches its most dangerous moment as he attempts to help the Cohen family escape across the border. With SS Officer Krause closing in, Friedrich faces a moment of profound decision that will test not only his courage but the very foundations of his faith and identity.

When plans unravel and pursuit becomes inevitable, Friedrich must make split-second choices that reveal the true measure of sacrifice. As dawn breaks over the city he once called home, Friedrich confronts both physical imprisonment and spiritual reckoning. What price is one willing to pay for defending what's right? In this powerful episode, we witness how moral courage stands firm even as institutional authorities falter, and how true freedom sometimes comes through letting go of everything one once held sacred.
