The Happiest Man on Earth - The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor

'Eddie looked evil in the eye and met it with joy and kindness... [his] philosophy is life-affirming' Daily Express

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. 

'I have never met Eddie Jaku, but having read his book I feel like I have made a new friend... This is a beautiful book by a truly amazing man' The Daily Telegraph
