Sorry, but this question is impossible to answer without any background information. Hope this helped :)
When the crew opened a sack thinking it was gold only to find that it was a huge wind that blew them off course.
They had to wear the Star of David, couldn't go anywhere, Otto lost his job, and they had to keep quiet. Even if you had a tiny bit of Jewish in you, you were still considered to be a full Jewish. So you can imagine how scary that was.
Hope I helped.
