I've read several books about survivors of the holocaust and Auschwitz in particular. I'm always amazed at their spirit, bravery and of all tolerance. Hitler and his followers were beyond insane and I'm so very sorry that only a minority paid for their heinous crimes. I wish that everyone had Eddie's courage to move past the horrors they endured and find joy in all the little things. I'm so happy he met his beloved Flore and always had his best friend Kurt. This book, and many others, are worth reading because as Eddie said 'only the survivors knew how it felt', but these books remind us all of man's inhumanity to man, to never allow this to happen again and to make sure we never forget.

Such an inspiring story. Told from a very different viewpoint than most of the books about Auschwitz, and revealing a truly gracious and humble man of noble character.

Eddie encourages us to be kind, to love and not hate, his message to practice gratitude every day is a stark reminder that in doing something so simple we can change ourselves, our relationship with each other and our attitude to the people we meet everyday. It is something we can all do as it is transformative and touches those around us. Less we forget, in not so many more years all remaining Holocaust survivors will be gone, their stories forgotten or ignored at worst rubbed out from history. In their memory we can live more mindfully, greet others with a smile and find something to be grateful for every day.

I liked this because although a harrowing tale the author highlighted so much that is good in the world and how having hope is so important.

I cant stop reading this book since i started it. I finished it in 3 days. Heartbreaking but an eye opener to not look at your situation. You can find happiness in the darkest times. Highly recommend this book.

Ein bewegendes und schönes Buch, das die Geschichte von Menschen erzählt, die viel Leid erfahren haben, aber trotz harter Umstände weiterleben wollten. Die Liebe des Protagonisten zu seinen Eltern und seine Hilfsbereitschaft machen ihn zu einer inspirierenden Figur. Allerdings hinterließ das Buch auch Traurigkeit in mir, da ich die Perspektive des Autors zu den Geschehnissen in Palästina vermisste – besonders, da Juden selbst unter den Nazis litten. Wie konnten sie Ähnliches tun? Das Buch regt zum Nachdenken über menschliche Natur und die Wiederholung der Geschichte an, bleibt aber dennoch eine Geschichte voller Hoffnung und Menschlichkeit.
