A War Story

You can't hide hundreds of Jews in the zoo! But that's exactly what happens in this suspensefully crafted, true story of courageous Jan Zabinski, the director of the Warsaw Zoo, who sheltered 300 Jews and Polish resisters in the buildings, animal cages, and sheds of the zoo.
Even more, this is the story of his wife, Antonina, who ingeniously kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants, keeping alive an atmosphere of play and innocence even as Europe crumbled around her. Endpapers include a discussion guide.
Quantities are limited.
