There are no animals in the zoo

There were no animals in the zoo. During the special period of World War II, the zoo, where there were no animals but hiding people, became a sanctuary for the Jews. Although day and night are reversed, although death is everywhere, and although I don't know when it will end, this is a ferry where I can live and a place to be redeemed.
Under the atmosphere of fear, the fluffy rabbits, the piano sound of the principal's wife, the stars drawn by the girl on the wall...like the light in the dark, giving the faith to live. That soft rabbit not only cured the girl who was insulted by the Nazi soldiers, but the extended touch in the screen also warmed the soul behind the screen. The calming piano sound of the principal's wife gave Warsaw a melodious corner full of gunshots. Every time I hear the sound of the piano that can soothe the soul of the wife of the zookeeper, the fear that seems to be shrouded by the Nazis will become thinner. The belief that living is like a bright moon will rise at night to make everyone look forward to.

The Zabinskis are so kind, brave, and righteous. In the air of fear shrouded by the Nazis, they would collapse and suffocate, but they would still help those innocent lives as much as possible. Those Jews wanted by the Nazis had equal lives in their eyes, and it was the respect for life. They did not put themselves and their families out of the way, risking their lives to help the Jews hide in their zoo and provide them with shelter. From the time when the principal’s wife recklessly hid her good friends at home, to when she and her husband began to help more Jews. Time and time again, I feel that husband and wife are partners who have a common belief.

In the final subtitles, there was the words "6% of Warsaw people survived." I couldn't help being silent. What kind of purgatory was that time? The Zabinskis' acts of justice in the era of war were not only great, but also a respect for life.

    The play is mediocre and has a poor sense of rhythm. Model worker sister and Bruch are still playing this kind of role without breakthrough~

    The one who showed the best acting skills was the cute bunny who was so obedient and obedient to anyone!

The Zookeeper's Wife quotes

  • Antonina Zabinski: You can never tell who your enemies are, or who to trust. Maybe that's why I love animals so much. You look in their eyes, and you know exactly what's in their hearts. They're not like people.

  • Jan Zabinski: I was raised with these people. Gentile, Jewish. It didn't matter to my family. It never mattered to me.
