Description

Based on the incredible true story of one Jewish family's struggle to survive and reunite during World War II, We Were the Lucky Ones is a powerful tribute to the human spirit's capacity for hope and love in the face of global adversity.

In the spring of 1939, as the shadow of war grows closer, three generations of the Kurc family are trying to live normal lives, despite the increasing hardships threatening Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon, the horrors of Europe will become inescapable, and the Kurcs will be flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying to navigate their own path to safety.

Driven by an unwavering will to survive and by the fear that they may never see one another again, the Kurcs must rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength to persevere. This extraordinary novel demonstrates how, even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can endure and even thrive.
