520    The true story of how the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved 
       hundreds of people from Nazi hands. When Germany invaded 
       Poland, Stuka bombers devastated Warsaw--and the city's 
       zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, 
       zookeepers Jan and Antonina Żabiński  began smuggling Jews
       into empty cages. Another dozen "guests" hid inside the 
       abiskis' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, 
       socializing, and, during rare moments of calm, piano 
       concerts. Jan, active in the Polish resistance, kept 
       ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed 
       explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina 
       kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its 
       human and its animal inhabitants--otters, a badger, hyena 
       pups, lynxes--and keeping alive an atmosphere of play and 
       innocence even as Europe crumbled around her.--From
