Germany, November 1938. Otto Silbermann, hearing a knock on the door, understands: we must run. The respected German-Jewish businessman managed to avoid the escalation of Nazi brutality. But now that he and his wife are planning to leave, all roads are closed, and Otto is forced to leave his home in the face of merciless violence.

With all the money he could collect in a suitcase, the businessman, changing from train to train, travels across Germany. Otto desperately tries to cross the border and every second is afraid that some fellow traveler will discover his Jewish identity. The Passenger is an unprecedented portrayal of the terrifying atmosphere of Nazi Germany, an unbearably tense, rediscovered classic.

There, every step of the newcomer is watched by the headmaster of the Mullins School, who does not know that Ned Schneebley is a different person.
