Treblinka, Poland--1942. Daily, thousands of passengers including
Bronka and Tchechia arrive at a destination they believe is a
resettlement work camp, only to be immediately separated from their
families and told to remove their clothing. Within moments, the
masses disappear into a long-fenced passageway down the center of
the camp called the tube, except for those indiscriminately chosen
out of the lines by the SS. While ordered to carefully organize the
discarded valuables of the passengers, the young men and women
begin to unravel the mysterious truth about Treblinka, yet they are
not allowed to ask questions. Only later, when the workers search
for their loved ones to no avail do the Nazi's menacing grins tell
them all they need to know--that they must keep working or they
will also end up entering the tube. As the sobering truth about
Treblinka sinks deeply into the workers' hearts, a few of the men
and women begin to plan a revolt. Based on a magnificent true
story, Trains to Treblinka deftly interweaves the lives of several
revolt organizers who pledge everything for the chance to burn down
the camp and escape into the woods. When the day comes for the
uprising, the young workers are barely able to contain their
excitement and they risk betraying their own motives under the
watchful eyes of the continually distrusting Nazis. This
well-researched, inspiring historical book is an authentic look at
Treblinka written as a suspense novel. From Publishers Weekly
BookLife Prize review, "It may be difficult and heart-wrenching to
read the in-depth details about the atrocities that occurred at the
Treblinka concentration camp, but this book is hard to put down.
Causey presents a powerful linear approach to the arrival of the
victims, the losses, the physical and emotional tortures, and the
escape attempts. This profoundly memorable story about Treblinka
serves as a reminder that every individual victim's name is worth
remembering." Learn about the beauty of hope, the tragedy of war,
and the enduring power of the human heart, all in Trains to
Treblinka.
