Warsaw Zoo: Righteous Among Nations

On September 21, 1965, Yad Vashem recognized Jan Zabinski and his wife, Antonina Zabinska, as Righteous Among the Nations. On October 30, 1968 Dr. Jan Zabinski planted a tree on the Mount of Remembrance. Yad Vashem is a living memorial to the Holocaust and this is the link to their page about the Zabinski family and their work on behalf of the Jews in Warsaw during the Nazi persecution of WWII.

The Zabinski zoo in Warsaw is featured in this month's book for discussion. Hope to see you Wednesday, Jan 23 at 7:30 p. m.!
