Teresa Zawadzki-Zabinski
Passed Away / Zmarła 30.01.2021

It is with great sadness we announce the recent passing of Teresa Zawadzki-Zabinski on 30 January 2021, the daughter of Jan and Antonina who was born in the Zookeeper’s Villa in 1944 during WWII and was the last surviving member of the Zabinski family to have lived in the villa where her parents hid at the peril of risking their own and their 2 children’s lives, approximately 300 Jews from the Warsaw ghetto.

Teresa’s only brother Ryszard passed away in 2019.

In memoriam

Tribute from Jessica Chastain:
I had the immense pleasure of getting to know Teresa Zabinska-Zawadzki when I worked on the film @thezookeeperswife
She was instrumental and incredibly generous in my preparation to play her mother.
Israel's Yad Vashem Institute has recognized the Zabinskis as Righteous Among the Nations for having risked the family’s lives in order to save Jewish lives.

Teresa was a shining light. Rest In Peace dear one ❤️
