Memoir from a 100-year old Holocaust survivor. In 1933, the year that Hitler came to power, Eddie’s father, fearing for his son’s future, sent Eddie to become an engineer, far away from his home in Leipzig. However, upon his return to Leipzig in 1938, Eddie was sent to Buchenwald and later to Auschwitz. This is the story of Eddie’s survival and how, all these years later, due to his positive mindset, Eddie feels like the happiest man on Earth.

An incredibly moving story, told in a buoyant and irresistible tone. Eddie is just a brilliantly uplifting soul.
Eddie Jaku OAM, was born Abraham Jakubowicz in Germany in 1920. In World War 2, Eddie was imprisoned in Buchenwald and Auschwitz concentration camps. In 1945, he was sent on a 'death march' but escaped. Finally, he was rescued by Allied soldiers. In 1950 he moved with family to Australia where he has lived since. Eddie has volunteered at the Sydney Jewish Museum since its inception in 1992. In 2020 he celebrates his 100th birthday.
Eddie Jaku always considered himself a German first, a Jew second. He was proud of his country. But all of that changed on 9 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 the 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.
