Yes - many animals die in the first half an hour or so of the film, the zoo is bombed and it's quite graphic and upsetting.

Much of the film is upsetting as it deals with the persecution of the Jews in Warsaw.

The animal carcasses could be considered excessive gore.

SPOILERS: Most of the animals in the zoo die on screen or disappear between scenes. Once the violence starts, an elephant is shot, a baby camel is shot, a bald eagle is shot, the skunk survives, and many other animals are shown as carcasses after the bombing.

A girl is raped but the act itself is not shown.
Antonina is sexually harassed throughout the movie and eventually the Nazi sexually assaults her. It doesn't go to the point of rape/penetration.

The burning of the Warsaw ghetto is depicted and screaming can be heard. In another scene, battle in the Warsaw streets is depicted, during which some people burn.

Not on-screen, but plenty of Jewish children are shown to be put on a train to concentration camps. Also, there is a distressing scene where a child gets taken off-screen with a gun pointed at him, and a gunshot goes off. Spoilers, I guess: He isn't shot, however.

The main character engages a man's attention on her to keep Jewish people hidden in her home, but the scenes are not entirely consensual.

I think they're referring to a shot just before Antonina gives birth to Theresa. It's very quick.
