The Happiest Man on Earth

This book written by the man himself, Eddie Jake, is an awe inspiring story of perseverance, morality, and hopefulness. It is awful the atrocities that were committed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. This man survived Auschwitz and went on to live a long, fulfilling life, reaching the ripe old age of 101 years old. He sadly lost his faith in God due to the atrocities he saw in the Holocaust, but he decided to be the happiest man in the world instead of letting fear and anger control him and get him killed by the Nazis. He didn't seek revenge either after the war, but decided that living happily was his best form of revenge, since that was what the Nazis tried to take from him during the war. Am all around great autobiography, and it's not too long either, less than 200 pages. I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a first hand account of a truly inspiring story.
