Vol.16 #Chatting with Sha Qingqing When the Zoo Became Noah's Ark

Traditionally, we believe that the distinction between humans and animals signifies the divide between civilization and barbarism. When the so-called barbaric place, the "zoo," was affected by human warfare, it sheltered homeless Jews like Noah's Ark. This is the interesting aspect of the book "The Zookeeper's Wife." Facing the chaos of war, how did an ordinary housewife struggle to survive, how did she save suffering Jews, and how did she protect the animals? Her care and love for life unleashed tremendous energy. What was the state of the Warsaw Jews during the war? What other stories exist in history about saving Jews?
