Georgia Hunter
We Were the Lucky Ones is a historical novel inspired by the true story of the Kurc family, a Polish Jewish family separated by the Second World War. When Nazi Germany invades Poland, the family members are scattered across continents, each facing different dangers as they struggle to survive the Holocaust. From forced labor camps and occupied cities to resistance movements and refugee journeys, their experiences reveal the extraordinary lengths people will go to protect themselves and reunite with those they love. Despite persecution, loss, and uncertainty, the Kurcs maintain hope that they will one day find one another again. Drawing on her own family history, Georgia Hunter explores resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring bonds of family in the face of unimaginable adversity. The novel offers a moving portrait of survival and the determination to preserve love and humanity during one of history’s darkest periods.
