The Zookeeper’s Wife

How the Warsaw Zookeepers Risked Their Lives to Shelter Jews

Jan and Antonina Zabinski were the managers of the Warsaw Zoo. There, thanks to their efforts, 300 Jewish men, women, and children were hidden in animal cages and in their home from 1939 to 1945. This remarkable couple was named Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem. Diane Ackerman, author of the bestselling book The Zookeeper’s Wife, will be our featured speaker.
