The German essay I linked, starts with telling a Kafka-esque story of a family that sells it's house and property and travels to Hamburg to leave for America to escape the German inflation. Arriving at the harbour in Hamburg, the prices already again have exploded and the money they got for selling their land does not pay for the ship travel anymore.
But it also is not enough anymore to just return to their former home town again.
