Imagine having your life threatened for simply offering a glass of water to a Jewish person. That was the real-life consequence that zookeepers' Jan and Antonina Zabinski faced when Germanyinvaded Poland during World War II. But the couple embarked on a much bolder act of rebellion than offering a glass of water. For three years, they chose to hide and shelter close to 300 Jews and political insurgents at their zoo. Based on Antonina's diary, their heroic story is now the focus of the film, The Zookeeper's Wife.
