Ackerman...makes beautiful work of harrowing tales of [her characters'] determination to keep souls alive, in the actual and metaphorical sense both., An inspiring read...may join Schindler's List and Hotel Rwanda as popular accounts of heroism in the face of genocide., Suzanne Toren deftly reads this account of Jan and Antonina Zabinski...This audio version, brilliantly set and realized and deeply compelling, offers a significant example of courage under fire. The book has also been made into a film., Ackerman has done an invaluable service in bringing a little-known story of heroism and compassion to light. Highly recommended., Suzanne Toren's respectful reading allows the horror of the Holocaust to emanate from the compelling story...Toren skillfully portrays the fear and revulsion expressed by Antonina in her diary and creates convincing accents for the many Polish characters., A true story--of human empathy and its opposite--that is simultaneously grave and exuberant, wise and playful., Fresh and compelling...Ackerman has succeeded in a vivid, cinematically written book that's bound to find its way to the screen., An exemplary work of scholarship...Ackerman's affecting telling of the heroic Zabinskis' dramatic story illuminates the profound connection between humankind and nature and celebrates life's beauty, mystery, and tenacity.

Synopsis
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 Antonina's diary and other historical sources, bestselling naturalist Diane Ackerman vividly re-creates Antonina's life as "the zookeeper's wife," responsible for her own family, the zoo animals, and their "guests" resistance activists and refugee Jews, many of whom Jan had smuggled from the Warsaw Ghetto.Jan led a cell of saboteurs, and the Zabinski's young son risked his life carrying food to the guests, while also tending to an eccentric array of creatures in the house (pigs, hare, muskrat, foxes, and more). With hidden people having animal names, and pet animals having human names, it's a small wonder the zoo's code name became "The House under a Crazy Star." Yet there is more to this story than a colorful cast. With her exquisite sensitivity to the natural world, Ackerman explores the role of nature in 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., When Germany invaded Poland, bombers devastated Warsaw, and the city's zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into the empty cages. Another dozen "guests" hid inside the Zabinskis' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, socializing and, during rare moments of calm, piano concerts. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants and refusing to give in to the penetrating fear of discovery, even as Europe crumbled around her., 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.
