'Eddie looked evil in the eye and met it with joy and kindness . . . [his] philosophy is life-affirming' – Daily Express
Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku made a vow to smile every day and now believes he is the ‘happiest man on earth’. In his inspirational memoir, he pays tribute to those who were lost by telling his story and sharing his wisdom.
Life can be beautiful if you make it beautiful. It is up to you.
Eddie Jaku always considered himself a German first, a Jew second. He was proud of his country. But all of that changed in November 1938, when he was beaten, arrested and taken to a concentration camp.
Over the next seven years, Eddie faced unimaginable horrors every day, first in Buchenwald, then in Auschwitz, then on a Nazi death march. He lost family, friends, his country.
The Happiest Man on Earth is a powerful, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful memoir of how happiness can be found even in the darkest of times.
'Australia's answer to Captain Tom . . . a memoir that extols the power of hope, love and mutual support' – The Times

Hands-down en av de mektigste leseopplevelsene jeg har hatt. For en bok, for et liv, for en mann. En bok med en utrolig viktig del av historien som vi alle burde lese og lære. Snart er bøker den eneste måten å få høre historiene fra jødene som overlevde holocaust, og om hvilke brutaliteter de opplevde i konsentrasjonsleirene, og denne boken er dermed et utrolig viktig vitnesbyrd.
