After losing many of their beloved animals to a series of graphic bombings and deliberate shootings for meat, the Zabinskis hide a desperate friend in their attic. In the midst of World War II, the Zabinski’s zoo is bombed and overtaken by the German army, rife with untrustworthy characters amid an intimidating group of solemn, uniformed men. Now, in light of the current Syrian refugee crisis, director Niki Caro’s “The Zookeeper’s Wife” is illuminating the true story of the Zabinski family, who saved hundreds of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. Some of them, such as “Schindler’s List” and “Sophie’s Choice” have garnered tremendous critical acclaim for their depictions of genocide. There are more than a few films in existence that center around the events of the Holocaust. Jessica Chastain stars in the World War II drama, “The Zookeeper’s Wife,” hitting theaters Friday.
