What an incredible evening. Last night the World Affairs Council hosted an event at San Antonio Zoo. The event featured distinguished author Diane Ackerman.

Beyond all of her other amazing writings she wrote the book ‘The Zoo Keeper’s Wife”. The true story of how the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands.

The time is 1939 and the place is Poland, homeland of Antonina Zabinski and her husband, Dr. Jan Zabinski. The Warsaw Zoo flourishes under Jan's stewardship and Antonina's care. When their country is invaded by the Nazis, Jan and Antonina are forced to report to the Reich's newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck. The Zabinskis covertly begin working with the Resistance and put into action plans to save the lives of hundreds from what has become the Warsaw Ghetto.
