Unaware that this is all a cruel ruse, the innocent boy goes to the station platform every day and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. But when the final train is at the station, Nico sees his family being loaded into a large boxcar crowded with other neighbors. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that he helped send the people he loved--and all the others--to their doom at Auschwitz. Nico never tells the truth again.

The escape artist : the man who broke out of Auschwitz to warn the world / by Freedland, Jonathan,1967-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In April 1944, Rudolf Vrba became the first Jew to break out of Auschwitz -- one of only four who ever pulled off that near-impossible feat. He did it to reveal the truth of the death camp to the world -- and to warn the last Jews of Europe what fate awaited them at the end of the railway line. Against all odds, he and his fellow escapee, Fred Wetzler, climbed mountains, crossed rivers and narrowly missed German bullets until they had smuggled out the first full account of Auschwitz the world had ever seen -- a forensically detailed report that would eventually reach Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and the Pope. And yet too few heeded the warning that Vrba--then just nineteen years old -- had risked everything to deliver. Some could not believe it. Others thought it easier to keep quiet. Vrba helped save 200,000 Jewish lives -- but he never stopped believing it could have been so many more"--
