Story of bravery and the loss of a lifestyle.
The true story of a Polish Woman, Antonia Zabinski, and her husband. How they saved 300 Jews by hiding them in their Warsaw zoo during the Nazi occupation. The couple hid the people in the empty animal cages and the animal caves where the zoo animals had lived before they were destroyed. A wonderful story of bravery and loss during a very difficult period in our history.
