Description
The Kurc family's survival of the Holocaust is a testament to the human spirit. In the spring of 1939, three generations of siblings lived relatively normal lives in Poland, despite the hardships faced by Jews. As war broke out, the family was torn apart, and each sibling embarked on a perilous journey to find freedom. Addy charmed his way onto a ship bound for Rio, while Jakob found love in an abandoned house. Mila hid her daughter in a Catholic convent, only to return weeks later to find it in ruins. Genek endured a brutal winter in a Siberian gulag before embarking on a year-long exodus through Persia. Meanwhile, Halina attempted to flee over the Austrian Alps on foot, pregnant and alone. The novel is a profoundly moving account of their struggles, based on the author's family experiences. We Were the Lucky Ones is a powerful and emotional novel that explores the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.
