We Were the Lucky Ones

Description

By Georgia Hunter

Spring 1939, Radom, Poland. Three generations of the Kurc family are living ordinary lives, and within months the war scatters them across the world: to Siberia, to Warsaw’s ghetto, to a Brazilian consulate, to the Italian front.

Each of them survives by a different improbable route, and each keeps trying to find the others. Based on the author’s own family, whose story she pieced together from surviving relatives over several years.
