Eddie Jaku has always identified as German first and Jewish second. He had great pride in his nation. But when he was assaulted, detained, and sent to a concentration camp in November 1938, everything changed.
Eddie endured unspeakable atrocities every day for the following seven years, first in Buchenwald, then in Auschwitz, and last on a Nazi death march. He lost his nation, friends, and family.
Eddie decided to grin every day because he lived. He tells his experience, imparts his knowledge, and lives the best life he can to honour those who were lost. He feels that he is the happiest guy on the planet these days.
This moving, tragic, and ultimately optimistic story of how happiness can be found even in the worst of circumstances was released to coincide with Eddie's 100th birthday.
