Why to watch

- When: The first three episodes of 'We Were the Lucky Ones' stream March 28 on Hulu.
- What to know: The show is based on Georgia Hunter's bestselling 2017 historical novel of the same name.

- The story follows the Kurcs, a Polish-Jewish family who lived successful, peaceful lives prior to the Holocaust.
- The family eventually splinters as they try to survive, with some members ending up in concentration camps or in hiding while others flee abroad.

- Lerman's character is based on Hunter's grandfather Eddy, who changed his name later in life.
