What are some of the hardest or most important lessons learned?

Use evidence (direct quotes) from the text to support your answer.  
Explain how this lesson affected the character.

Ma and Da's lesson is that they had to let Michael go and save Professor Goldsmit, and trust that he was not going to get himself killed. I know this because in the text it says "To get on the team all I have to do know is prove to them I'm a super-Nazi. I just don't know how." Simon nodded. "I know how," he said. "You have to turn me in." Page 228. The evidence I found supports my claim because it tells you the exact event when Simon told Michael he had to turn him in, and if he turned Simon in his parents would get in trouble because they were the ones who hid Simon. Another piece of evidence I found in the text was on page 230 "You told me it was too valuable to give up everything you've worked on just for one man, and Goldsmit is just one man." "One man who may know how to build an atomic bomb," Ma said. "Not to mention that this could finally get those jet fighter plans into the hands of the Allies.We just have to decide if it's worth one for the other. "The decision is whether or not we can put our son in that kind of danger," Da said.  I chose that piece of evidence because it shows that before Michael told them he would do it they were debating whether or not they should put him in that kind of danger, because he could get caught and if he got caught he would get killed.
