Private Visit to the Zabinski Villa
This afternoon you have a private tour of the former villa of Jan Zabinski in the Warsaw Zoo. Zabinski was the director of the Warsaw Zoo before and during WWII. Upon the creation of the Warsaw Ghetto, Dr. Zabinski and his wife started hiding Jews in his villa and, unbelievably, in the Zoo itself. This was documented in Diane Akerman’s excellent book, The Zookeeper’s Wife.
