This heart of mine

Goes out of time

Blue skies turn black

Behind our back

Don’t let me go

A Shoe-billed stork being fed after the bombing of the Berlin Zoo during World War II, 1943.

The Berlin Zoo was first hit by Allied bombs in 1941. However, the most devastating damage occured in November of 1943. In a span of just 15 minutes, 30% of the animals were wiped out from the heavy bombardment. The next day, the aquarium was completely destroyed.

Throughout the war, the Berlin zookeepers tried their best to keep the animals safe by moving some into temporary shelters. By the end of the war, less than 100 animals survived out of the more than 4,000 animals that lived there before the war. Some of the survivors included a chimpanzee, an elephant, a hippo, two hyenas, two lion cubs and ten baboons.
