“it took many years to realise that as long as I still held fear and pain in my heart, I would not truly be free.”

“I never lost sight of what it was to be civilised. I knew that there would be no point surviving if I had to become an evil man to do it.”
― The Happiest Man on Earth: The Beautiful Life of an Auschwitz Survivor – A New York Times Bestseller with Timeless Lessons on Gratitude and Hope

“In my mind, this is really the best revenge, and it is the only revenge I am interested in – to be the happiest man on Earth.”

“You don't want to fall in love with a reflection of yourself! A strong partnership is with a man or a woman who is different from you, who challenges you to try new things, to become a better person.”
― The Happiest Man on Earth

“Auschwitz was a living nightmare, a place of unimaginable horrors. But I survived because I owed it to my friend Kurt to survive, to live another day so that I might see him again. Having even just one good friend means that the world takes on new meaning. One good friend can be your entire world.
This, more than the food we shared or the warm clothes or the medicine, was the most important thing. The best balm for the soul is friendship. And with that friendship, we could do the impossible.”
