The Zookeeper's Wife

"After their zoo was bombed, Polish zookeepers Jan and Antonia Zabinski managed 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 "The house Under a Crazy Star"."
This is an heart breaking and inspiring book, I can't imagine how people manage to survive in the conditions brought on by such a terrible war and time in history.
