Eddie Jaku, a Holocaust survivor, wrote The Happiest Man on Earth to share his incredible story of survival and hope. Born in Germany in 1920, he endured the horrors of the Holocaust, spending time in several concentration camps, including Auschwitz. After the war, Jaku moved to Australia and rebuilt his life.

His message is simple but powerful: no matter how difficult life gets, we can choose to be kind, be grateful, and find joy. The Happiest Man on Earth is a moving reminder of the strength of the human spirit. The book also won the 2021 Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIA) Biography Book of the Year.
