Synopsis

More than 30 million people from all over Europe migrated to the new world and into a new life between 1890 and 1920. Among the Americas emigrants at the end of the 19th century are the watchmaker Simon Kantor with his wife Ruth and nine-year-old son Daniel, who escaped a pogrom in Russia at the last second; the storyteller and HAPAG advertiser Tatlin, who helped fleeting recruits to false papers and therefore ht; the Hamburg shipyard worker son Klaus Groth, who returns to Hamburg after his military time; the newly examined doctor Albert Werth, sprout of an old Sephard family who strikes out a promising marriage with a banker's daughter and hires as a ship doctor, or Alma Laufer, a religious sister who misses in Southwest Africa. 10000 . They all meet in Hamburg in 1892, in the year of the cholera epidemic. Even today, uprooting and emigration are current - the existential decision to break up into an uncertain future, with the mere hope of a better life elsewhere. Gerd Fuchs has linked the fates of his heroes in an opulent novel and tells their life stories until the arrival of the passenger steamer Saxonia on Ellis Island off New York.
