‘We Were the Lucky Ones’ Is a Gutting and Thoughtful Depiction of a Jewish Family in the Holocaust: TV Review
Joey King stars in the heart-wrenching adaptation of 'We Were The Lucky Ones', which chronicles one Jewish family's experience of the Holocaust.
Told over the span of eight episodes, each named for a place members of the Kurc family landed after being ousted from their home in Poland, “We Were the Lucky Ones” chronicles the siblings and their spouses fighting to exist during an impossible time, while holding steadfast to the hope that they might reunite. From depictions of the frigid cold of Siberia to horrific acts of brutal violence inflicted on the Kurcs and other Jews, “We Were the Lucky Ones” is relentless in its accurate portrayal of the anguish and terror imposed daily. Sol and Nechuma, who owned the premiere fabric shop in Random, Poland, are forced to rely on their children for survival, causing them guilt that eats at them as the war presses on.
