Diane Ackerman
The Zoo-keeper's Wife

When Germany invaded Poland, Stucka bombers devastated Warsaw and the city's zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabiiiski began to fight their own war against the Nazis. They resuced Jews from the ghetto and gave resistance fighters shelter in the empty animal cages. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Drawing on Antonina's diary, Diane Ackerman recreates the life of the 'zookeeper's wife' in a forgotten true story from the Second World War.
