Review: In Hulu's 'We Were the Lucky Ones,' an engrossing family drama with the Holocaust as backdrop

My Ukrainian Jewish parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were comfortably ensconced in the Midwest when Hitler began persecuting the Jews; I have no familial connection to the Holocaust. Still, the sight of a swastika gives me shivers, and all the more so given that, in this age of denial and renascent fascism, the symbol has outlived its ironic uses (punk rock, Mel Brooks) and is simply a sign of antisemitism.

You can't make a movie about that time without showing it, of course, and it's necessary that such movies are made,
