About The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story by Diane Ackerman:

 

The Zookeeper's Wife is the story of two unsung heroes of World War II: Jan and Antonina Żabiński, Polish zookeepers who risked their lives to rescue Jews from death at the hands of the Nazis. The heroic couple hid more than three hundred fugitives in their home and in the empty animal cages of the Warsaw Zoo.

 

Diane Ackerman vividly evokes the extreme brutality and heroism that defined WWII-era Poland. The Zookeeper's Wife is a testament to the bravery of those who resisted tyranny through radical compassion.
