Maurice Klein speaks with Anton Berezin, actor and producer of the one man stage production The Happiest Man On Earth, the memoir of Holocaust survivor the late Eddie Jaku OAM,  which has been an international best seller translated into 37 languages, with over 400,000 copies sold in Australia and  well over one and a half million copies sold worldwide. Having a comfortable upbringing, Eddie's life forever changed on Kristallnacht 1938 when he was arrested and viciously brutalized by Nazi Stormtroopers. Eddie survived Auschwitz, Buchenwald and other concentration camps, eventually escaping one of the infamous, horrendous death marches. Both of Eddie's parents perished in the Auschwitz gas chambers. With Flore, his wife of 75 years Eddie, went on to rebuild a new, happy, loving, committed life of volunteering and giving back in Australia, and through his important work at the Sydney Jewish Museum and Holocaust storytelling,  becoming one of the most recognized Holocaust survivors worldwide. Anton provides us with an insight in part into Eddie Jaku's life's journey along with the trials and tribulations of producing, presenting and acting Eddie Jaku in the one man play of Eddie's inspiring life story. The Australian stage premiere of The Happiest Man on Earth will be for a limited season at the Sydney Opera House Playhouse from May12 to May 17.  Tickets are available at www.sydenyoperahouse.com/theatre/happiest-man-earth.
