The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku

5.0

When I tell you I sobbed…. This book was so heart wrenching and beautiful at the same time. My favourite audiobook of 2020 and in my top 5 of 2020 overall. In this short but immensely powerful memoir, Eddie Jaku shares his story as a Holocaust survivor who had witnessed the worst of human behaviour. Eddie tells his story simply and factually. He doesn't spare details of the horrors that awaited him at Auschwitz, and is steadfast in his desire to speak for the millions of Jews that are unable to tell their own stories. Despite the atrocities he witnessed and endured, Eddie found love, light and joy in the things we'd often take for granted. This was a true testament to the human spirit. If you're wondering what book to buy next.. consider this a sign!! Read this one!! "The greatest thing you will ever do is be loved by another person".
