The Mazurek Express Olga Swan

1943. In Birmingham Paul Mazowski meets a friend, Pierre de Jonge, whom he last met in Germany five years previously. Together they discuss a spying mission in Europe, directed by Churchill: Pierre to be based in Berlin, Paul in Warsaw. Paul is sent to Warsaw on his most dangerous mission yet: to help those trapped in the ghetto. However, despite heroic efforts, he finds himself herded into a cattle car heading for the notorious Treblinka concentration camp. As the heavy wheels churn, everyone is in peril. This is a story about German-occupied Poland, the courage of the inmates of the Warsaw ghetto, and how a mighty locomotive acts as a catalyst for salvation of the spirit.
