  1. Why to watch

    • 'We Were the Lucky Ones' shows the generational trauma of World War II
    • 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.
    • While the book is fictional, it's based on Hunter's own decades-long mission to learn more about her Jewish relatives' lives before, during and after World War II.
    • 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.
    • The adaptation stars Joey King and Logan Lerman as siblings Halina Kurc and Addy Kurc, respectively.
    • Lerman's character is based on Hunter's grandfather Eddy, who changed his name later in life.
