When a broken film critic must find the most ascetic Persan director and persuade him to shoot an unrestrained blockbuster in Paris, he pick the wrong man and have to deal with him to save his career.
'Who' is this "wrong man"; knowing 'who' he is, tells the audience the Hero has to go on a dififficult Journey. There's no Batman without the Joker.

But you brought yourself in a sort of pickle because now you will get people who say "maybe you?re telling two stories here", and feel forced to split them up. Keep the basic story as it is!!

Keep the basic story as it is!! But shortening your logline to max 35 words will force you to kill your darlings and optimize your sentence(s) construction. In this case I personally would use the two sentence approach.

“During World War II, a railway line, called the Malkinia-Siedlce line, ran directly east from Warsaw to Malkinia Junction. The Treblinka extermination camp was located 4 km or 2.5 miles southeast of the Malkinia Junction. The Germans built a spur line from the junction into the Treblinka camp and train cars were backed into the camp, 20 cars at a time.’
The logline must be somewhere inbetween 25 and 35 words, I want to stay as close to 27 words as possible without leaving vital information out of the logline
