We Were the Lucky Ones Cast Previews Powerful Show About Holocaust

Michael Aloni hopes Hulu’s We Were the Lucky Ones will serve as a teachable moment for younger generations who may not be familiar with the history of the Holocaust.

In an interview with Us Weekly, the Shistel alum, 40, opened up about the powerful limited series, which follows a tight-knit Jewish family who are ripped apart during World War II. “It's an important story to tell,” Aloni said. “It’s a great reminder of people who weren't lucky, and a great reminder of what happened just not so long ago, and the basic nature of hatred and evilness that is not to be repeated ever again.

Aloni was grateful to have Hunter on set when it came to channeling his character, Selim, as it gave him an opportunity to dive into the character with the help of the author. When it came time to film, he was able to “let it all go — and it comes out on the screen.” For her part, Yaron didn’t need to dig deep to get familiar with the emotions that came along with playing someone living during this time in history. Though she read Hunter’s book, “We as Israelis, we grew up with the Holocaust. It’s something we are very familiar with,” the Fill the Void star, 33, shared. “We all have family that Holocaust survivors, so it's kind of very much in our DNA. We know about it so much, we grew up with it.
