This story of an emigrant remained unfinished and was only published after Erich Maria Remarque's death. The Jewish Ludwig Sommer was able to escape persecution by the National Socialists and landed in New York in 1944. He finds a job with an art dealer and makes friends with other immigrants. However, although his new beginning goes well, he hopes for an opportunity to return home.
