“We Were the Lucky Ones” — the Hulu limited series based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Georgia Hunter — follows the Kurc parents and their adult children as they are torn apart by the inhumane horrors of the Holocaust. Scattered across multiple countries, this is the story of their individual struggles to survive.
The story kicks off in 1938, as the Kurc family gathers for Passover at their home in Radom, Poland. The energy is of comfort, connection and camaraderie; a potential romance is kindled; discussion of music, babies and career aspirations fill the air. They’re unfazed by rumors of violence and harassment against Jews.
