With storm   troopers battering against his door, Otto Silbermann must flee out the back   of his own home.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-three-year-old   Ulrich Alexander 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 Hitckcockian tension,   The Passenger is a blisteringly immediate story of flight   and survival in Nazi Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ulrich Alexander Boschwitz","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":49189994070259,"sku":"9781805331940","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781805331940.jpg?v=1780346479","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/the-passenger-ulrich-alexander-boschwitz-9781805331940","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
