‘We Were The Lucky Ones’: Erica Lipez, Joey King & Logan Lerman On The Decision To “Imply More Than Show” The Violence Of The Holocaust – Contenders TV

The series has a more "intimate lens" on the Holocaust, giving showrunner Erica Lipez an opportunity to depict a story "that people haven't seen before."

We Were The Lucky Ones is a harrowing tale based on a true story about a Jewish family who is trying to find their way back to one another after being separated during the Holocaust. Lipez was joined by series stars Logan Lerman and Joey King, the latter of whom agreed that it “was always very clear with the intention from the very beginning that we wanted to imply more than show, because it is more unnerving sometimes.” Solely Jewish actors were cast to depict the Kurc family in We Were The Lucky Ones — another decision that Lipez said felt natural for the story they were trying to tell.
