About this listen
Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku made a vow to smile every day and now believes he is the ‘happiest man on earth’. In his inspirational memoir, he pays tribute to those who were lost by telling his story and sharing his wisdom.
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.
Critic reviews
"Eddie looked evil in the eye and met it with joy and kindness...[his] philosophy is life-affirming." (Daily Express)
"Australia's answer to Captain Tom...a memoir that extols the power of hope, love and mutual support." (The Times)

Thank you for this beautiful story, your story. May the world keep this in mind when they are interacting with each other, that they love and do with love and kindness. This shows the danger of people being silent and not speaking up. Turning a blind eye.
