Video of the Day

In this beautiful and moving talk, the self proclaimed “happiest man on earth”, Eddie Jaku, born Abraham Jakubowicz, shares his story of love and survival at TEDxSydney 2019.

Eddie Jaku was a Jew living in Germany at the outbreak and throughout the duration of World War II. His story of survival spans 12 years, from Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 until liberation in 1945. He saw death every day throughout WWII, and because he survived, he made a vow to himself to smile every day.
