This was the first book I've read from a survivor of the Holocaust that gave me hope for humanity. It's hard to imagine anyone who endured the challenges Mr. Jaku did, seeing the worst side of human evil, and yet, still maintaining a positive outlook. He lived in Australia until he died in 2021. I was reading this during the height of Australia's Anti-Israel protests in 2024, and wondered how Mr. Jaku would respond to the people in his neighborhood. I would like his family to know the impact his story had on me, reminding me that we can choose how we look at our circumstances. We can let them control us or we can take control of them, if only in our minds.
