The Zookeeper’s Wife
by Diane Ackerman

W.W. Norton & Co.
c 2007

A true story of a family who hid and protected many Jewish refugees in 
Warsaw, Poland, during the Nazi regime.  The were keepers of the city zoo, and used 
the mostly empty cages to hide the hunted Jews.

P. 266  (In 1943) In June, Antonina affirmed life’s relentless optimism by 
giving birth to a little girl named Teresa.

Quoted by the author on P. 158:  

"There is only one God," Hasidic teacher Avram Davis writes, "by which we 
mean the Oneness that subsumes all categories.  We might call this Oneness the 
ocean of reality and everything that swims in it [which abides by] the first 
teaching of the Ten Cammandments.  [T]here is only one zot, thisness.  Zot is a 
feminine word for ‘this.’  The word zot is itself one of the names of God--the 
thisness of what is.
