We Were the Lucky Ones

It was spring 1938 when the Kurc family tried their best to lead normal lives, even as war loomed on the horizon. The Seder table conversations revolved around new babies and budding romance, rather than the hardships facing Jews in Radom, Poland. But as the horrors of Europe spread and became unavoidable, each member of the Kurc clan would be scattered across the globe, struggling to find safety for themselves. One sibling was forced into exile, another attempted to flee, while others risked their lives by working in crowded ghettos or hiding as gentiles. The family's unwavering determination to survive drove them to rely on hope, ingenuity, and inner strength as they navigated the treacherous path of escape.
