The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor
Why I Love It:
This month’s Book Club (May) read was an absolute standout — and for good reason. In this short but powerful memoir, Holocaust survivor Eddie Jaku shares his story of unimaginable hardship, resilience, and the conscious choice to live with joy.
Despite everything he endured in Buchenwald and Auschwitz, Eddie calls himself “the happiest man on earth” — and by the end of the book, you’ll understand why. It’s moving, uplifting, and a beautiful reminder of the strength of the human spirit. Highly recommended for your reading list. 💛
