A New York Times Bestseller
In The Happiest Man on Earth, Eddie Jaku shares the story of a life shaped by loss, survival, gratitude, and hope. Born into a Jewish family in Leipzig, Germany, he was a teenager when Kristallnacht shattered the world he knew and set him on a path through some of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century.
Over the next seven years, Eddie endured Buchenwald, Auschwitz, and a forced death march in the final days of the Third Reich. The Nazis took from him his family, his friends, and his country, but they did not destroy his spirit.
After surviving, Eddie made a promise to himself: he would smile every day in gratitude for the life he had been given and in honour of the millions who were murdered. Published as he turned one hundred, this memoir brings together his personal story and the values that guided the life he rebuilt.
Alongside his account of survival, Eddie reflects on friendship, family, love, kindness, tolerance, and the simple beliefs that helped him live with purpose. The Happiest Man on Earth is a memoir of resilience and remembrance, and a tribute to the possibility of light even after profound suffering.
