The Mascot
For most of his life, Alex Kurzem harboured a secret.
As a five-year old Russian orphan in World War Two,
he had been found by Latvian soldiers, made their
mascot and given a new name and birth date. But Alex
was actually a Jew who was being kept alive by those
who were exterminating his people. With his real identity
hidden, he became a poster boy for the Nazi ideal and
was taken into a Latvian family, who later migrated to Australia. This is
the story of Alex’s search for his true history.
