'The Zookeeper's Wife' Captures Horrors of Holocaust Without Being Overly Graphic

The Zabiniskis were two of many silent heroes who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust. Turning their zoo into a sanctuary, Antonina and her husband Jan secretly rescued hundreds of Jewish people from the Warsaw Ghetto and sheltered them in their home. In those several years in the shadows, all but two managed to escape the jaws of Nazi Germany.
The Zabinskis' bravery is beautifully told in "The Zookeeper’s Wife," directed by Niki Caro.
Jessica Chastain, Johan Heldenbergh and Daniel Brühl give believable and powerful performances as they act out the Zabinskis' dangerous hospitality and a German soldier's growing suspicions. We cried when they cried. We gasped when they gasped.
