Description

Eddie Jaku's remarkable memoir tells the story of his survival against unimaginable odds, from the horrors of the Holocaust to the power of gratitude and kindness. Born into a Jewish family in Germany, Eddie's world was turned upside-down on Kristallnacht, and he was sent to concentration camps, including Auschwitz. Yet, despite the unimaginable horrors he faced, Eddie found the will to survive and made a promise to himself to smile every day in thanks for the precious gift of life.

Today, at 100 years of age, Eddie calls himself the "happiest man on earth" and shares his wisdom on how he has led his best possible life. With insights on friendship, family, health, ethics, love, and hatred, Eddie's memoir offers timeless lessons for readers, especially for young people today. This is a story of hope, resilience, and the human spirit, and a testament to the enduring power of kindness and compassion.
