Hunter finesses the challenge. Her novel brings the Kurcs to life in heart-pounding detail.” —The Jewish Voice “The story that so grippingly comes across in the pages of We Were the Lucky Ones isn't strictly fiction—the characters and events that inhabit this Holocaust survival story are based on her family's own history.” —Newsweek “[A] must-read.” —New York Post “[A] remarkable history . . . Hunter sidesteps hollow sentimentality and nihilism, revealing instead the beautiful complexity and ambiguity of life in this extraordinarily moving tale.” —Publishers WeeklyA Finalist for the National Jewish Book Awards’ Book Club AwardA Women’s National Book Association Great Group Read “Reading Georgia Hunter’s We Were the Lucky Ones is like being swung heart first into history. Her engrossing and deeply affecting account . . . will leave you breathless. But the true wonder of the book is how convincingly Hunter inhabits these characters, each modeled after her own family members. This is their story Hunter is telling so beautifully and profoundly, and ours as well. A brave and mesmerizing debut, and a truly tremendous accomplishment.” —Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and Circling the Sun “We Were the Lucky Ones is the most gripping novel I've read in years. Georgia Hunter pulled me into another world, vivid, horrifying, astonishing, and heartbreaking.” —Lauren Belfer, New York Times bestselling author of And After the Fire, A Fierce Radiance, and City of Light. “We Were the Lucky Ones is a skillfully woven reimagining of [Hunter’s] own family’s struggle for survival during World War II . . . with spectacular historical detail. This emotionally resonant, gripping portrait of the war is filled with beautifully drawn and wonderfully heroic characters I won’t soon forget.” —Jillian Cantor, author of Margot and The Hours Count “Georgia Hunter has crafted her own family history into a sprawling, yet still intimate portrait of those swept up in the devastation of war and scattered to the winds. It is an astonishing saga of hope, of luck, of destruction, and most remarkably of love, made all the more astonishing because of the true story at its core.” —David R. Gillham, New York Times bestselling author of City of Women “Elegantly executed and always clear, Hunter evokes pre-war Poland with loving detail, clearly showing what was left behind and lost. . . . We Were the Lucky Ones is a compelling read, notable for Hunter’s clear portraits of her plucky, resilient family, and for her ability to build suspense and investment without emotional manipulation.” —Courtney Naliboff, ReformJudaism

A Polish, Jewish family's struggle to survive the atrocities of the Nazi regime. It is a well written book that follows each of the family members' individual fight and path to survive in different countries and circumstances. Even though one knows about the unimaginable cruelties and crimes committed against primarily (if certainly not only) people of the Jewish faith, books like these are important and I very much enjoyed (if you can call it that) this one, not least of all because amidst all the horror and loss and anguish there is love and there is hope.
A story well told, I find that , in general, there is little written dealing with the aftermath of the war e.g. refugees who could not return to their houses as other families had just moved in, where did people go and how they were helped. Did countries such as America open their borders, etc. This book deals with this which I appreciate. Thank you.
This story follows the Kurc family - 3 generations in total - starting in 1939. WW II is about to being, and this family is Jewish. They live in the town of Radom, Poland, but soon they are split up. Some flee, some are forced into exile, and some are sent to concentration camps. Each person has a story to share, and their struggle to survive is propelled that some day they will see each other again.This was the first book I have read about WWII where the characters were from Poland. I have read how bad it was in Poland, but to read the horror on these pages made it that much more forefront in my mind. The story, over all, was good. Each chapter dove into the lives of certain members of this family, and told the story of what was happening to them on a personal level. But each chapter was also connecting those characters to the rest of their family. All of them working on a common goal to get back to each other no matter what.If I had to give any criticism about the book is that it was a bit too long. I found my mind wondering at some points - feeling that things were too drawn out. This made it a little slow moving, and some chapters were better than others. Some of the stories were heart wrenching and I couldn't stop reading until the end of the chapter. Yet others dragged.Overwall- good book. I would recommend it with the knowledge that there might be times where you want to skim.
Georgia Hunter's novel, "We Were the Lucky Ones", does depict a family of Polish Jews who were very lucky, indeed. Their nuclear family - parents and five children - all survived the Holocaust, and ended up living all over the world. "Lucky Ones" is not exactly a novel, because Hunter uses her mother's family as the basis of the story, giving real names and situations. She was smart to write the book this way, as she seems to have written non-fiction with the license of creating her own dialog.She begins each chapter with a short report on what was going on in the war.Hunter begins her book in Radom, Poland, a city in central Poland with a large and thriving pre-war Jewish community. The Kurc family was celebrating Passover,1939, with four of their five children and their husbands around the table. The only child missing was Addy, who was living in Toulouse, France, and couldn't return home to join in the celebration. For the next six years as the winds of war tossed Polish Jews from the ghettos set up by the German occupiers, to the killing fields, and finally to Treblinka and Auschwitz, the Kurcs fought in the resistance armies, labored in the concentration camps, and were unbelievably lucky in their fate. (This is not a surprise to the readers as they're told that the family survived; the book tells their stories.)Georgia Hunter is a good writer and the story of the family's survival is presented well. She is the daughter of Addy's daughter, who was born after the war to Addy and an American woman he met while living in Rio. The Kurc's tale is an interesting one.
