Exhibition honors Polish couple who saved Jews at 706
A permanent villa exhibition opens at the Warsaw Zoo documenting Jan and Antonia Zabinski who sheltered Jews during World War II. The couple used music signals from their home piano to cue hidden Jews to stay quiet as Nazis approached the property. The display highlights their remarkable deeds, including hiding people in indoor animal enclosures, a story brought to wider attention by Diane Ackerman's 2007 book The Zookeeper's Wife.
