Go
THE ZOOKEEPER’S WIFE dutifully depicts the complacent Polish Jews of the 1930s promising to return to their homes after Hitler’s Third Reich is over. As we all know, unless their ashes miraculously drifted back like homing pigeons from Adolph’s Death Camp Crematoria to their burned-out original residences, these proved to be hollow, unfulfilled promises. ZOOKEEPER’S final credits state that Warsaw LOST 94% of its overall population by the end of World War Two.
Set on the background of the Wola Massacre in Warsaw during World War 2, this film is much like the other Holocaust films. It is important to highlight people who are brave enough to defy the thugs that bully a population. Especially in our current climate.
The film felt a little long to me and poorly edited. Your best bet is to wait for the dvd.
