Interviews

Thanks to Focus Features, I was lucky enough to be able to ask Diane Ackerman, author of the nonfiction book,  The Zookeeper’s Wife, and ask her a question about her awe-inspiring novel that was recently adapted into a movie!

The Zookeeper’s Wife Synopsis

In 1939 Poland, Antonina Żabiński (portrayed by two-time Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain) and her husband, Dr. Jan Żabiński (Johan Heldenbergh), have the Warsaw Zoo flourishing under his stewardship and her care. When their country is invaded by the Nazis, Jan and Antonina are—and forced to report to the Reich’s newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck (Daniel Brühl). To fight back on their own terms, the Żabińskis covertly begin working with the Resistance—and put into action plans to save lives out of what has become the Warsaw Ghetto, with Antonina putting herself and even her children at great risk.
