Zookeeper's Wife Haggadah
The Zookeeper’s Wife is the real-life story of one working wife and mother who became a hero to hundreds during World War II. In 1939 Poland, Antonina Żabińska and her husband, Dr. Jan Żabiński, had the Warsaw Zoo flourishing under his stewardship and her care. When their country was invaded by the Germans, the the Żabińskis covertly worked with the Resistance and put into action plans to save Jewish families from the Warsaw Ghetto, putting themselves and their family at great risk. In the spirit of this heroic story, Focus Features has collaborated with humanitarian relief agencies the International Rescue Committee (IRC), HIAS, and CARE; and leading Jewish organizations from around the country to produce this Haggadah supplement.
