{"product_id":"9781529066364","title":"The Happiest Man on Earth : The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor by Eddie Jaku","description":"Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku made a vow to smile every day and believed he was the `happiest man on earth'. In his inspirational memoir, he paid tribute to those who were lost by telling his story and sharing his wisdom.   `Eddie looked evil in the eye and met it with joy and kindness . . . [his] philosophy is life-affirming' - Daily ExpressLife 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.   'I have never met Eddie Jaku, but having read his book I feel like I have made a new friend . . . This is a beautiful book by a truly amazing man' - The Daily Telegraph\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43206178013362,"sku":"9781529066364","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781529066364_13231c99-7010-467f-a3bf-483dfd289892.jpg?v=1705372564","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781529066364","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
