Joey King says making 'We Were the Lucky Ones' was important so that people don't forget the Holocaust

For Joey King and Logan Lerman, who star as siblings torn apart by World War II and the Holocaust in We Were the Lucky Ones, making the limited series was personal.

In the eight-episode series, premiering March 28 on Hulu and adapted from Georgia Hunter’s 2017 book of the same name, King stars as Halina Kurc, the youngest daughter of a Jewish family in Poland. Lerman plays her musically gifted brother Addy, who is based on Hunter’s grandfather.

“There was a closeness because this cast is Jewish, and we all have our own story and connection with our family to this period of time in history,” King told Yahoo Entertainment.

“I feel like there were just so many moments where you feel so close to the material, you feel so deeply connected and affected by the scenes that you’re shooting,” the actress said. “You can’t help but be so overwhelmed by that emotion, and also your own personal heritage with it.”

Executive produced by Erica Lipez (The Morning Show), who also serves as showrunner, along with Thomas Kail (Fosse/Verdon) and Jennifer Todd (Memento), We Were the Lucky Ones follows one family of five siblings, their spouses and their parents as they’re separated across Europe and South America while trying to survive as Jews targeted during World War II.
