About the Book

Eddie Jaku was an 18-year-old when he took a 9-hour ride home to see his family after 5 long years of separation, fatigued, famished, and above all hankering for his mother's warmth, only to find the decrepit house abandoned and desolate. Devastated, Eddie slept on his childhood bed, with an empty stomach and a heart that was brimming with unspeakable agony. He woke up in the dead of the night to the brutal thrashings by ten-odd brown shirts, the moniker given to Hitler's monster Nazis adorned in the Nazi uniform.

They didn't spare even the poor dog and had killed him with a bayonet. Eddie was arrested and deported to the notorious extermination camps that Hitler had raised throughout Europe with the sole intention of annihilating the "dirty" Jews. The night that went down history as the "night of broken glass" had been the greatest mistake in Eddie's life. It marked the beginning of a grueling journey to the god-forsaken hell on earth. But Eddie survived, not once, but thrice. He was pulled out of the gas chambers thrice because of his valuable mechanical skills.

Surviving Hitler's Buchenwald and Auschwitz, the death march, and the heartbreaking loss of his family, and managed to live 100 years to be the self-proclaimed happiest man on earth, is no ordinary feat. It required extraordinary chutzpah and resilience. With wife Flore, and children Michael, and Andre by his side, Eddie more than just survived.

Have you read Anne Frank's Diaries and felt the tugging pain inside as you read through the little girls' diaries? Then Eddie Jaku's story will touch you in a similar vein. It is a heart-wrenching and soul-stirring story of a man's indomitable spirit and his courageous fight for survival. If books like Man's Search for meaning by another Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl have found a place in your shelf and heart, then give Eddie Jaku a chance to tell his story too.
