SUMMARY:Brown Bag Books - "The Zookeeper's Wife:  a War Story" by Dianne Ac
 kerman (NF)
DESCRIPTION:Brown Bag Books - &quot\;The Zookeeper&#039\;s Wife:  a War Sto
 ry&quot\; by Dianne Ackerman (NF)  "The Zookeeper's Wife:  a War Story" b
 y Dianne Ackerman (NF)\nThe Zookeeper's Wife is a true story in which the 
 keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands.  Aft
 er their zoo was bombed\, Polish zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski mana
 ged to save over three hundred people from the Nazis by hiding refugees in
  the empty animal cages. With animal names for these "guests\," and human 
 names for the animals\, it's no wonder that the zoo's code name became "Th
 e House Under a Crazy Star." Best-selling naturalist and acclaimed storyte
 ller Diane Ackerman combines extensive research and an exuberant writing s
 tyle to re-create this fascinating\, true-life story―sharing Antonina's 
 life as "the zookeeper's wife\," while examining the disturbing obsessions
  at the core of Nazism."  (Amazon)  "She captures with breathtaking pre
 cision and discernment our kinship with animals\, the barbarity of war\, A
 ntonina's unbounded kindness ... \, Jan's daring work with the Polish Und
 erground\, and (the) audacity of the the Zabinskis' mission of mercy...(Sh
 e) illuminates profound connection between humankind and nature\, and cele
 brates life's beauty\, mystery and tenacity." (Booklist)   Please join us
  on March at noon in the Fireside Room to discuss this illuminating and 
 uplifting book.\n\nThe Brown Bag Books group meets year-round\, except in 
 July and August. Many attendees bring their lunches\, and everyone brings 
 a sense of humor. Monthly sessions are always lively and enjoyable.\n\nBoo
 ks chosen by the group for discussion are usually listed in the Order of S
 ervice and the Bulletin\, as well as on the UUCPA website.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nC
