Berlin, November 1938. With storm troopers battering against his
door, Otto Silberman must flee out the back of his own home. He
emerges onto streets thrumming with violence: it is Kristallnacht,
and synagogues are being burnt, Jews rounded up and their
businesses destroyed. Turned away from establishments he had long
patronised, betrayed by friends and colleagues, Otto finds his life
as a respected businessman has dissolved overnight. Desperately
trying to conceal his Jewish identity, he takes train after train
across Germany in a race to escape this homeland that is no longer
home. Twenty-three-year-old Ulrich Boschwitz wrote The Passenger at
breakneck speed in 1938, fresh in the wake of the Kristallnacht
pogroms, and his prose flies at the same pace. Shot through with
Hitchcockian tension, The Passenger is a blisteringly immediate
story of flight and survival in Nazi Germany.
