We Were the Lucky Ones

A friend recommended We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter, so I got the ebook from the library. The book is based on the true story of the author's family (grandparent and other ancestors) during WWII. The Kurc family was Jewish and lived in Poland when the horrors of the Holocaust began. The book tells the story of the different siblings and their will to survive.

This was an incredible book--both heartwrenching and inspiring. It is just unbelievable to read all the different family members went through--and then to see them come back together in the end. I also loved reading the author's note at the end describing how she uncovered the details of this story. Also, as a disclaimer, the book did have quite a bit of bad language.

Rating: * * * (3/3 = Loved it)
