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. Because he survived, Eddie made the vow to
smile every day. He pays tribute to those who were lost by telling his
story, sharing his wisdom, and living his best possible life. He now
believes he is the "happiest man on earth." Published as Eddie turns
100, this is a powerful, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful memoir of
how happiness can be found even in the darkest of times.
