Synopsis
After Nazi tanks rolled through Poland during World War II, the Warsaw Zoo was nearly destroyed. Zoo director Jan Zabinski and his wife, Antonina, not only managed to keep the zoo animals alive during wartime, but used it as a shelter for several hundred Jews. This remarkable tale, written with the perfect mix of reportage, poetry, and dramatic flair by noted writer Diane Ackerman, is riveting, thoughtful, and humane.
