The Zookeeper's Wife — Poland
Jan and Antonina Żabiński use Warsaw Zoo — emptied of animals by German bombing — to hide hundreds of Jewish refugees under German noses.
The Żabińskis sheltered approximately 300 Jews in the zoo villas, enclosures, and tunnels between 1942-1945. Jan had official access as city horticulture inspector, regularly crossing into the ghetto to smuggle people out. Both Jan and Antonina were recognised as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.
