![]() She kisses one, then sets off for her morning rounds of the zoo, greeting each animal with a smile and a “my love” or a “sweetheart.” The movie opens with Antonina watching her young son sleeping in bed with a couple of lion cubs. It is an astonishing story of heroism and proof that every person has the power to make a difference in the world. ![]() With too many similarities happening today, I wish everyone would see The Zookeeper’s Wife, which is based on the true story of Antonina Zabinski and her husband, Jan, who oversaw the Warsaw Zoo and who hid hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust. I’m finding it harder and harder to watch movies about the Holocaust and I can’t bear to watch anything bad happen to animals so, in theory, The Zookeeper’s Wife should not be a movie I’d want to see.īut I love Jessica Chastain, I adore animals and I’m finding it more important than ever to learn as much as possible about the Holocaust.
