The New York Times bestseller now a major motion
picture starring Jessica Chastain. A true story
in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved
hundreds of people from Nazi hands.Jan and
Antonina Zabinski were Polish Christian
zookeepers horrified by Nazi racism, who managed
to save over three hundred people. Yet their
story has fallen between the seams of history.
Drawing on Antonina8217sdiary and other
historical sources, best- selling naturalist
Diane Ackerman vividly re-creates

had smuggled from the Warsaw Ghetto. Ironically,
the empty zoo cages helped to hide scores of
doomed people, who were code-named after the
animals whose names they occupied. Others hid in
the nooks and crannies of the house itself.Jan
led a cell of saboteurs, and the
Zabinskis8217young son risked his life carrying

both kindness and savagery, and she unravels the
fascinating and disturbing obsession at the core
of Nazism both a worship of nature and its
violation, as humans sought to control the genome
of the entire planet. 8 pages of illustrations
