Summary

The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman tells the remarkable true story of Antonina and Jan Żabiński, zookeepers of the Warsaw Zoo during WWII. As the war ravages Poland and their zoo is bombed, the Żabińskis risk their lives to hide hundreds of Jewish refugees within the zoo's grounds. Blending history, nature, and courage, Ackerman captures how humanity and compassion prevailed even in the darkest times.
