The cast and team behind Hulu's "We Were the Lucky Ones" reflect on the emotional finale, shedding tears of joy and grief as the characters reunite after surviving the Holocaust, sharing the names of lost loved ones.

Kveller is hosting a virtual event on May 6, 2024, to discuss Hulu's series "We Were the Lucky Ones," which airs close to Yom Hashoah, Israel's Holocaust memorial day.

"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."

Hulu has released a first look at their highly anticipated show, "We Were the Lucky Ones," which will start airing on March 28.
