The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
Today-Thurs. Jan. 18th 7:00p.m.
The Zookeeper's Wife is a non-fiction book written by the poet and naturalist Diane Ackerman. Drawing on the unpublished diary of Antonina Zabińska, it recounts the true story of how she and her husband, Jan Zabiński, director of the Warsaw Zoo, saved the lives of 300 Jews who had been imprisoned in the Warsaw Ghetto following the German invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939.
"Diane Ackerman has surpassed even herself in her latest book, which is alternatingly funny, moving, and terrifying.   This powerful thriller would be a great novel--except that it is true." 
-Jared Diamond
