Dear Diary,

It's been a full and rich life, and I'm grateful for every moment of it. I'm now an old man, living in Massachusetts with my beautiful family. My children and grandchildren are thriving, and it brings me great joy to see them grow and prosper.

One of my granddaughters, Georgia, is especially close to my heart. She's always had a passion for music, and I've been eager to teach her piano. We've been spending a lot of time together, and it's been a joy to see her enthusiasm for music grow.

As I look back on my life, I know that I've been blessed in so many ways. I've been able to pursue my love of music, even in the darkest of times. And now, I'm surrounded by a loving family who bring me so much happiness.

Of course, there have been challenges along the way. There have been moments of heartache and loss, but I don't regret a single moment. I've lived a full life, and I'm grateful for every experience, both good and bad.

I know that my time is limited, and I'm at peace with that. I'm content to spend my remaining days with my family and to share with them the lessons that I've learned throughout my life. I hope that I've been able to make a positive impact on the world, even in my small way.

Yours truly, and probably for the last time,

Addy Kurc

Livro 23 de 2019: Somos Os Que Tiveram Sorte, Georgia Hunter - Baseado na história real da autora, o livro conta como uma família judaica sobreviveu aos horrores da Segunda Guerra Mundial, acompanhando três gerações da família Kurc. – Quem me conhece sabe que tenho especial paixão pelas histórias da Segunda Guerra, em especial livro que contam sobre a forma de atuação dos nazistas e o que fizeram com os judeus (por mais que leia, continuo sendo surpreendida pela capacidade dos homens para o mal), então me surpreendi por nunca ter esbarrado em Somos Os Que Tiveram Sorte antes. Na verdade considerando a tristeza que sempre encontramos nestas histórias, o próprio nome do livro é de surpreender a gente. Mas a escolha deste nome por Georgia foi acertada. Ela conta a história de seu avô Addy, e dos irmãos dele, sem diminuir o horror e o sofrimento, mas demonstrando sempre como o amor que tiveram de seus pais, seu senso de união, foi capaz de torná-los uma exceção a regra geral, pela qual apenas uma ou duas pessoas das muitas famílias judaicas atingidas pela guerra sobreviveram, os Kurc puderam se reunir em outro continente mais uma vez. Uma história de esperança, engenhosidade, força de vontade e coragem. Mais um selinho #simonerecomenda #livros #livros2019 https://ift.tt/2Xo5acv

Personal Narrative

Published on February 14, 2017, We Were the Lucky Ones is a historical fiction novel written by Georgia Hunter that tells the incredible story of a Jewish family’s quest for survival during World War 2. Taking place between Early March 1939 and April 6th, 1947, the novel is told in a third-person point of view split narrative of the Kurc Family. The book follows the dangerous and amazing story of the entire Kurc Family as it jumps from dire situation to dire situation. Addy, the middle child of the family, is separated from them at the beginning of the war. He is forced to join the French Army and eventually moves to Brazil after France capitulates. His eldest brother, Genek, along with his wife, Herta, are sent to the Siberian gulag, where they live under near-death conditions. Eventually, they are granted amnesty, and with their newborn son, Jozef, join Ander’s army with some clever deception. While all this occurs, Jakob, Mila, Halina, their spouses, and their parents must survive in the Nazi-occupied Poland. Halina and her husband, Adam, join The Underground and assist as many Jews as they can while fighting back the Nazis. Jakob and his wife, Bella, must escape their confines of a factory before it is liquidated. In other words, before all of the Jews are sent to death camps. Mila must stay strong for her daughter, even though she doesn’t know the whereabouts of her husband, Selim, or even if he is alive. The parents of these siblings hide out with a family, hoping the Gestapo doesn’t catch them. By a stroke of luck, all of them survive to the end of the war and meet up with each other in Brazil to celebrate together, excluding Jakob and Bella, who got a visa to the United States. We Were the Lucky Ones is a beautiful story that shows the atrocities of Holocaust while at the same time, protrays the importance of family.

Dear Diary,

I can hardly believe it, but my family is finally here in Brazil with me. It was a long and difficult journey, but with Caroline's help, we were able to bring them here from Europe. I'm still pinching myself to make sure it's all real.

Being reunited with my family after so many years of separation has been an indescribable feeling. We've been catching up on lost time and making up for all the years we've missed. We celebrated Passover together, with a beautiful meal and music, which has always been a passion of mine. It was a reminder of our shared heritage and the importance of family.

We're starting to settle into our new life here in Brazil. I'm trying to help my family adjust to the new language and culture. We're all excited to explore this beautiful country and make new memories together.

I know that there will be challenges along the way, but for now, I'm just grateful to have my family back in my life. It's a dream come true.

Yours truly,

Addy Kurc

Dear Diary,

I have some amazing news to share with you. I've married Caroline, a wonderful woman who works at the American embassy here in Brazil. She's been a constant source of support and encouragement, and I'm so grateful to have her in my life.

But that's not all. I recently received a telegram from my brother Genek, who was able to find me using a Red Cross list. It was the best news I've received in years. My family is alive. I can hardly believe it.

I've been in touch with Genek, and we're making arrangements to bring them here to Brazil to live with us. It's going to be a complicated process, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to bring them to safety.

I'm overjoyed at the thought of being reunited with my family after all these years. We've been through so much, and I know that we still have a long road ahead of us. But for the first time in a long time, I feel like there's hope.

Of course, not everyone will be coming to Brazil. My brother Jakob has created a life of his own in the US with his wife Bella, and I couldn't be happier for him. But the rest of us will be together, and that's all that matters.

I'm excited to show my family the beauty of Brazil and introduce them to Caroline. It's going to be a new chapter in our lives, and I can hardly wait to see what the future holds.

Yours truly,

Addy Kurc

Dear Diary,

It's been a few weeks since I arrived in Brazil, and I'm trying to start a new life here. But it's been hard. As you know, I fell deeply in love with Eliska, a Czech woman who's been through her own share of hardships. We were engaged to be married, but I've had to call it off.

It wasn't an easy decision to make, but I couldn't bear the thought of building a future with her while my family's whereabouts and wellbeing are still uncertain.

Even as I try to move forward, I can't help but feel guilty for leaving my family behind. I still don't know if they're alive or dead, and the uncertainty is eating away at me. Sometimes, I feel like I'm betraying them by trying to build a new life for myself.

I know that I have to keep going, though. For my own sanity and for the sake of those who love me. Maybe someday, I'll find a way to reconcile my past with my future. For now, I'll just take it one day at a time.

Yours truly,

Addy Kurc

Dear Diary,

It's been a long and arduous journey, but I'm finally safe. As you know, I was drafted into the French Army and feared for my life. But somehow, I managed to escape Europe and am currently making my way to Brazil. It wasn't easy, but I knew it was my only chance to survive.

I feel selfish for leaving my family behind in Poland. In my heart, I know they might have already died, but I still carry hope with me every day.

Despite everything, I have found a new love whilst on my journey. Her name is Eliska, and she's a Czech woman who's been through her own share of hardships. We've fallen deeply in love, and I'm thrilled to announce that we are engaged to be married.

Eliska understands my pain and my past in a way that no one else can. She's been my rock through everything, and I know that we'll make a beautiful life together.

Sometimes, I can't help but feel guilty for finding happiness when my family is still suffering. But I know that they would want me to be happy, and that's what keeps me going.

I am hoping to build a new life, a new future, here in Brazil.

Yours truly,

Addy Kurc

Dear Diary,

It's been a tough few weeks for me. As you know, I'm a 25-year-old Jewish man living in France in the year 1940. My family is still in Radom, Poland, and I miss them terribly. I've always enjoyed composing music, but lately, it's been hard to find the inspiration to do so.

You see, I've been drafted into the French Army, and I'm scared. I don't know what's going to happen to me, or if I'll ever see my family again.

But it's not just the fear of war that's been weighing on me. As a Jew, I'm acutely aware of the dangers that face my people in Europe right now. The Nazi regime in Germany is spreading like a cancer, and it's only a matter of time before they turn their attention to France.

For now, though, I have to focus on survival. I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but I have faith that I'll find the strength to face it. Maybe someday, when all of this is over, I'll be able to look back on this time and see it as a test of my character.

Until then, I'll keep writing in this diary and hoping for the best.

Yours truly,

Addy Kurc

Dear diary,

It's been months since I've seen my family. I am a Jewish man living in France in 1940, and my family is back in Poland. I had hoped that I would be able to be with them for Passover, but now it seems like that will never happen.

The Germans have invaded France, and I am constantly on edge, worrying about what will happen to me and to other Jews living here. Every time I hear a knock on the door or footsteps in the street, my heart races with fear.

I feel so far away from my family, and I worry about them constantly. I have received a few letters from them, but the news is always bleak.

Despite everything, I try to hold onto hope. I hope that someday, I will be able to be reunited with my family. I hope that someday, this war will be over, and we will be able to rebuild our lives. But for now, all I can do is try to survive day by day.

It's hard to find joy in anything right now, but I try to take pleasure in small moments whenever I can. A good meal, a kind word from a friend, a moment of sunshine on a dreary day - these are the things that keep me going.

I know that the road ahead will be long and difficult, but I am determined to keep fighting. For my family, for my community, and for myself.

Until next time, diary.

Addy Kurc
