Beautiful, heartbreaking, hopeful, inspirational
What an amazing and inspirational man was Eddie Jaku. How he was able to survive all the years of torment, savagery, hate, loss, betrayal and pain and yet still become a beacon of hope and love for millions is just unbelievable.

Excellent read
This is a very poignant story of a young Jewish man’s experience during the Holocaust. He not only tells his stories of the concentration camps, but he weaves in stories of hope, encouragement and love. This is an excellent, engaging book. I would recommend this book for everyone! You will come away with a new sense of hope and purpose.

A wonderful book
This was a moving memoir full of so much wisdom. A painful story. But an honest truth that must be shared. We cannot give into hate. Hate is a cancer. Blaming others for your misfortunes is a cancer. And yet he survived. Some survived. And proved the Nazis wrong.

Very inspiring, but horrific, Holocaust novel.
Being a child of the Holocaust (in a way – my parents escaped Austria just as it was being taken over and had to make a life in a totally new country – but I lost two aunts and one set of grandparents, while the other grandparents survived a work camp) I have been obsessed more than most with the horrors of WWII and the Nazis. I have read quite a few books on the war and the Nazis and a number of books on Auschwitz, in particular. I think this may be the last book on Auschwitz I will read for a while. It just affects me so much. This book is not a literary masterpiece, but written well enough for a person who survived the horrors of the camps and is not a professional writer. It is completely first person narrative, with no dialogue whatsoever. It comes across as totally genuine. At first I was relieved in that he seemed to escape the worst horrors of the camps. But then he eventually ended up in Auschwitz and recounted horrors there that I had not read about before. It really can be hard for me to read. He seems to have remembered so many details that I find it extraordinary. That probably is a result of his very scientific and well organized thought processes. I didn’t give the book five stars for two reasons. The writing was adequate, but not outstanding. But most of all, I think the book got too preachy. The fact that having a friend who was there, after he lost his whole family, and how that kept him going is certainly something that he should relate to us. Likewise, the amount of damage a body can take and still survive when there is a positive attitude, I.e. mind over matter, is another very good point. Likewise, the idea that survival is, in essence, a way to win against evil like the Nazis. These are all very good points. But I think that the author went overboard in talking about these things. The book is what I would imagine his inspirational speeches are like. I think there could have been a little less of that and this would still have had a great impact. But four stars is still a very positive review and I highly recommend this, especially to people who don’t know what being in Auschwitz was like.

This was an incredible story and had me engaged the entire read. I havenât read an entire book for years and this was the first book my friend recommended me to check out to get back in to reading. I recommend this for all teenagers and above but there will be some hard parts to read. The message of this story has truly helped me to view the world differently and to cherish life as it is. I feel more grateful than ever, so thank you Eddie, for sharing this incredible story.

I just finished this book, and Iâm left with a heavy heart and a deep sense of reflection. This book is truly a masterpiece. Reading it felt like sitting beside a wise, compassionate grandfather and listening to his life experiences.Eddie Jaku’s account of the Holocaust is both harrowing and enlightening. He provides a profound and detailed perspective on the immense pain endured during that dark period. Yet, amidst the suffering, Jaku imparts invaluable life lessons on happiness and resilience. Each chapter is filled with wisdom that not only recounts history but also inspires readers to find joy and meaning in their own lives.The emotional weight of this book has shifted my perspective on life. Itâs a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of embracing happiness despite lifeâs trials. I believe this book is a must-read for everyone. It has earned a solid 5 stars from me, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a moving and thought-provoking read.

This book is beautifully.Even though the story is heartbreaking it tells the value of life. I really cried at some parts and was close to tears most the time. But it talks about the importance of kindness. Highly recommended, I could not stop reading. He makes it clear that -with hope and kindness- you can achieve everything and after a hard time there will be happiness. If you don’t give up hope you will survive.If you want a little idea of what it feels like go read this book it reminded me of the song “Beautiful Things” – Benson Boone
