The Zookeeper's Wife Page #3

Wait, please.

Stay safe, my beauty.

Put him in Herr Heck's truck.

Come.

Thank you, Jan.

Goodbye, Frau Zabinska.

"The rich shoemaker in the town

"took the measure of the

little foot into his own room

"in which stood great glass

cases full of pretty shoes.

"She sat down and made,

well, as well as she could,

"a pair Of little..." Ah!

I think Papa's home in time

for New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year, gentlemen.

Is this absolutely necessary?

Yeah.

Stop! What are you doing?

These creatures

won't survive the winter.

It's an order from high command.

There's nothing I can do.

No, stop!

Mama!

Mama, who's shooting?

Mama, they're shooting!

Who's shooting?

Make it stop.

Tell me, where's the owner?

He's gone.

Would you tell his wife

I'd like to talk to her?

They left on holiday.

I thought I saw her.

I must have been mistaken.

Have it stuffed and mounted.

Keep moving, children.

Dr. Korczak.

That's right.

Dr. Korczak?

Not too far now.

Not too far now.

They're forcing Jews

out of their homes,

and they are taking us all

to the ghetto.

They dragged Maurycy away

like he was a criminal.

That brilliant, kind man,

like he was nothing.

We're going to go where they

want us to go, that's all.

And when the war is over,

we'll come home again.

I've known you

since we were boys, Jan.

Go on, Szymon.

What do you need from me?

I'd like to keep my insect

collection here with you.

I can't take it with me.

I want it to be safe. It's my

life's work, you know that.

Of course, Szymon, yes. We

can put it in the basement.

It's dry there, like a dungeon.

And no one will find it.

Thank you, Jan.

Thank you.

We have room.

We have the storeroom upstairs.

We could hide Magda there.

Antonina.

This is a human being.

This is a Jew

hiding in our house.

We can't even give her

a glass of water.

Do you understand that?

Mmm.

We could be shot

for a glass of water.

So, we just close our eyes

and let her go.

Our dearest friend

in all the world.

We would have to

be sure about this.

Think carefully because...

We'd have to be very sure.

Absolutely no sound

during the morning.

No sound, do you understand me?

The cook leaves at 1:00.

She'll sleep in the day.

At midnight, the patrol leaves,

and then you can come out.

How long can I stay?

I have nowhere else to go.

You'll stay till it's over.

It's done.

They've moved all the Jews behind

walls in the Nalewki District.

And they're bringing in

very little food.

Oh, my God. And no

wood, nothing for the cold.

Have you heard

anything about Maurycy?

He's practicing law from a storefront.

That's all I know.

I can't get through

the gates, Magda.

No one enters the ghetto
