Inspired by the incredible true story of one Jewish
family separated at the start of World War II, determined to
survive—and to reunite—We Were the Lucky Ones is a tribute to
the triumph of hope and love against all odds. It is the spring
of 1939 and three generations of the Kurc family are doing their
best to live normal lives, even as the shadow of war grows
closer. The talk around the family Seder table is of new babies
and budding romance, not of the increasing hardships threatening
Jews in their hometown of Radom, Poland. But soon the horrors
overtaking Europe will become inescapable and the Kurcs will be
flung to the far corners of the world, each desperately trying
to navigate his or her own path to safety. An extraordinary,
propulsive novel, We Were the Lucky Ones demonstrates how in the
face of the twentieth century’s darkest moment, the human spirit
can endure and even thrive.
