One of the other librarians just sent me this:

A patron has been looking for 20 years for a book she thinks the title is
"Night Train". She read it in high school in 1981, but the book probably
was written in the 60's or 70's.

It is about a small town in Poland (she thinks), and the plot sets up a plan
to fool the Nazis into thinking there is a quarantine of the town to prevent
the train from coming to the town and therefore protect the Jewish
community.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

TIA,
