内容简介
······

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 on 9 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 the Nazi death march. He lost family, friends, his country. Because he survived, Eddie made the vow to smile every day. He pays tribute to those who were lost by telling his story, sharing his wisdom and living his best possible life. He now believes he is the 'happiest man on earth'. Published as Eddie turns 100, this is a powerful, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful memoir of how happiness can be found even in the darkest of times.

评论 ······

感触良多不知从何谈起……就差不多的鸡汤在Eddie嘴里说出来就更有说服性，毕竟他经历了这么多非人的对待但还是善意对待和回报世界甚至德国和希特勒……也让我想起了我们国家以前的遭遇[流泪]但遗憾的是这本回忆录好冷门国内甚至没有搬运他19年的TED Talk，更别说中文译本了。但还是希望能如他所愿世人不要忘记，更不要否定曾经存在过的这些历史……..

这是奥斯维辛集中营幸存者之一Eddie Jaku写的一本书，今年正是他的百岁之年。这本书与其他一些以描写在奥斯维辛经历为主的书不同，Eddie不仅仅描写了在奥斯维辛的经历，也描写了小时候在德国，逃难到比利时，在Buchenwald集中营以及幸存之后移居到澳大利亚的经历。全书以亲情、友情、爱情、教育、工作、道德、希望等为主线，串起了the happiest man on earth这个主题，也正是这…

2021年一口气读完的书！ 用朴实幽默的文字讲述不可想象的苦难，几度机智地逃离纳粹的毒爪，但有被重新识别犹太身份！凭着友情支撑和对人性怀有最后的信念，咬着牙活了下来，且走出了创伤，在2020年告诉我们再平凡不过的人生道理，相信和感恩每一天的太阳

有几处泪流满面，看到最后忽然发现我离这位老人那么远却又这么近啊！
