Hulu’s ‘We Were the Lucky Ones’ Lets Jewish People Be the Heroes of Their Holocaust Story

Lior Zaltzman in Kveller · 28 Mar

"Hulu's 'We Were the Lucky Ones' shifts the focus to Jewish protagonists in a Holocaust narrative, deviating from the common portrayal of non-Jewish heroes in such stories. Showrunner Erica Lipez, along with director Thomas Kail and author Georgia Hunter, aimed to center the Jewish experience by highlighting the Kurc family's survival through luck and ingenuity during World War II. The series, praised for its Jewish representation and authenticity, features a predominantly Jewish cast and portrays holiday scenes with emotional accuracy. By showcasing a different narrative of survival outside concentration camps, the show challenges preconceptions around Holocaust tales, emphasizing the varied experiences of Jewish survivors. Through its portrayal of complex heroism and themes of strength, resistance, and luck, 'We Were the Lucky Ones' offers a poignant and meaningful reflection on Jewish history and triumph in the face of tragedy."
